Jon thanks for reposting that. I think that one word in the below paragraph might make BRCM regret this war. Second-generation GSM systems rely on a form of technology known as time division multiple access (TDMA). For third-generation (3G) services, many GSM wireless carriers have chosen to deploy a form of CDMA, called WCDMA. However, even before the 3G transition, GSM systems have been adding data and other capabilities, via GPRS and EDGE technologies, with advancements such as higher data transmission rates, increased spectral efficiency/greater capacity, resistance to interference, access to packet switched networks and multimedia distribution. As a result, these evolving GSM Standards now incorporate a number of QUALCOMM's patented inventions, originally developed to enable such capabilities in CDMA networks. The patents in this suit cover some of QUALCOMM's innovations that have now been incorporated into the GSM Standards through GPRS and EDGE. As explained in QUALCOMM's complaint, Broadcom's integrated circuits for GSM Standards-compliant devices unavoidably infringe QUALCOMM's patents essential to the GSM Standards. Where as there is huge doubt about their allegations against Q.
