I believe DSP Communications (DPSC) is licensed to produce a CDMA chipset for sale to a third party. Their chipset will not be available till early in 1998. Most of DSPC's sales are currently PDC chipsets to the Japanese market, but they are hoping to get entry to the US market indirectly with their CDMA chipsets.

Mike- Please note the following press release from July 1997 announcing a license with LSI for the development and sale of ASICS. I think there is also another licensee. QUALCOMM Signs CDMA ASIC License Agreement With LSI Logic - Key ASIC Supplier to Provide Chipsets to CDMA Markets Worldwide - SAN DIEGO -- July 30, 1997 -- QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) today announced that it has signed a license agreement with LSI Logic Corporation of Milpitas, Calif. The agreement enables LSI Logic to develop, manufacture and sell cdmaOne (IS-95) Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) to QUALCOMM's subscriber equipment licensees for digital cellular, personal communications services (PCS) and wireless local loop applications around the world.
