This looks like an acknowledgement from a giant European company that W-CDMA owes a lot to CDMAOne and hence QCOM IPR. I suspect Phillips has decided to come clean and use this opportunity to get ahead of ERICY in the market, while ERICY battles it out in court. Is this the first W-CDMA license granted ?

brian, isn't Philips Consumer Communications the unit that LU and PHG formed around June of 1997, resulting in something like a $2.5 billion "company"? This has to be one of the best news of the year. It shows the willingness of a big EU company to move ahead rather than battling out in the court room, especially related to potential W-CDMA IPRs. Based on volume so far, it appears that QCOM is not trading on this news yet. Ramsey
