Houston, Do you realize what you have said? You have hit upon the Holy Grail of the IPR debate. Many times the answer is so clear, people look right over it. You make the observation Erisson chose an outdated method. (Reed-Solomon/convolutional coding) You point out that the ETSI has acknowledged as much. (ETSI proposal under section 5.2.1.1.3 titled "Turbo Coding", they state "The use of Turbo coding for high data rate (above 32 kbps), high quality services, is currently being investigated within ETSI.Turbo codes of rate 1/3 and 1/2 (for the highest data rates), have been proposed to replace the concatenation of convolutional and Reed-Solomon codes.) You comment < with all the research money and capacity that is represented by all of these companies, no-one had gotten around to an extremely important aspect of the technology proposal, coding.> Bingo! Coding is the absolute foundation of why CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) is better that TDMA, GSM, Analog or cans with strings. CDMA is first and foremost about coding . For Ericy to miss that point and propose an acknowledged inferior and outdated method speaks volumes. The ETSI comments leave no room for any other interpretation, Ericy is out of touch. Hey Qcomm PR folks, grab on to this and the battle will soon be over. Jeff Vayda
