BTW TJ, it seems that you are already using my technology in your GPRS. Unfortunately, your suppliers seem to have breached intellectual property right laws and haven't been paying QUALCOMM. This is a LOT of fun! theregister.co.uk < Taking the fight out of Qualcomm’s core technology base, CDMA, into GSM, a platform into which it originally had no input, is stunningly aggressive. The complaints against Nokia echo some GSM-related patent suits included in the tit-for-tat war with Broadcom in the US courts, and have raised fears that Qualcomm is gearing up for a general royalties claim against all makers of GSM handsets or chips. Qualcomm claims it has fundamental patents that are infringed by the methods that modern handsets use to add data capabilities to GSM, although so far it says its issues are specific to Nokia and Broadcom. Specifically, Qualcomm says that some Nokia GSM/GPRS phones sold in the US infringe 11 of its patents and one belonging to a subsidiary, all of them concerned with enhanced wireless internet access and data transmission over GSM networks.> Being magnanimous, QUALCOMM and I have let it go, but with the slimeballs in the GSM Hagfish Guild harassing QUALCOMM over patents, QUALCOMM has decided to explicate a broader range of intellectual property right issues. It would have been fun to be a fly on the wall in Nokia's patent place when they saw the QUALCOMM move. I imagine there would have been quite a fluster. Nobless oblige, Mqurice
