Could someone help me to answer the following questions ? Is Qualcomm the company invented CDMA technology ? Do they own the patent ? Is it true that doesn't matter which company, if they want to use CDMA in someway, they will have to pay Qualcomm royalties or license fees ?

Oh Grand Poobah, I believe that Nextwave IS currently installing a WLL system in Lost Wages. China Sees Wireless Growth 02/27/98 What do motorcycle owners have in common with subscribers to telephones, mobile phones and pagers in Guangzhou, the largest metropolis in south China? They all increased by about 20% last year as the per capita income of the residents of Guangzhou exceeded 10,000 yuan (about $1,204) in 1997. The increase is more than double the national average in 1996. In a related story, this year China's mobile telecommunication channels will be increased to more than 120,000, an increase of 20% from 1997. Mobile phone subscribers are predicted to rise to 20 million, an increase of around 50% compared to 13M users last year. <http://www.commnow.com/protect/news/98/Feb/02279896.html> Caxton
