Michael,
Irwin clearly stated during the recent research CC that current IS-95 license agreements would be extended to cover cdma2000 without additional cost.

Yes, I believe you are correct in saying that the QCOM CDMA agreements are specific to which flavor of CDMA they have licensing. New licenses will have to be issued. It is my understanding that there will be no additional licensing fee, however, for existing CDMAone license holders. This makes sense to me, because QCOM certainly wants to encourage telco's to get involved with CDMA now (as opposed to later) and the carrot on the end of the stick no additional fees when the next generation is ready to go.
