bdog, re ...nice to have Gregg Power's perspective... Gregg has already posted on the subject of Ericy IPR claims in his last post to Dave. Here are a few excerpts: I have had the head of a major European manufacturer of GSM baseband chips (e.g. a major ERICY vendor) tell me flatly that "Ericsson's public position on wideband CDMA doesn't pass the "ha-ha" test". Ericsson cannot deploy W-CDMA without QC's IPR and it knows so. This issue will not be resolved in the courts because Ericsson knows that it would lose. What you believe is an active debate I characterize as marketing noise and positioning by the Europeans. But, the bottom line remains that Irwin has been absolutely candid and absolutely accurate regarding Qualcomm's issues, challenges and opportunities. Within this context, he has been absolutely emphatic about the company's IPR position and his pursuit of convergence.
