What I found even more impressive was that even with the perfect opportunity to gloat I found his remarks to be quite business like and very professional. Every time ERCY is interviewed they are stamping their feet like little children, not wanting convergence and pointing fingers the other way. With this interview even though he hints at other companies and we know who he is talking about he never throws aimed barbs. What is that saying in debate? Something about once you get the opponent to show his emotion you have won. BTW: There are too many Michaels on this thread!

Maurice: Quick correction. QC is saying, to the worldwide telecom community, that it will lower the royalty rate for EVERYONE based on a converged CDMA-based standard. In doing so, the company is holding out a carrot for convergence and simultaneously feathering its nest (i.e. despite a lower royalty rate, royalty dollars would increase because CDMA would have 100% marketshare over time). This is not a "giveaway" by Qualcomm or a kick in the teeth of existing cdmaOne providers, rather this is a shrewd dollop of grease to lubricate this wheels of progress. Best Regards, Gregg
