Cabi speaks: Message 8546392 One interesting fact came from the CC, Nokia is NOT using Qcom ASIC's. Does the adoption of new standard now require Qcom to license other chip makers on a "fair and just" basis?

Straight Life, I am not sure about infra. biz. But no ASICs from handset side. I simply think MOT will try to do it itself without paying too much ASICs payment while MOT has every chance to be independent of making ASICs itself. MOT do not use Q's handset ASICs. That part is a sure thing unless MOT purchases it through its Korean division. There is no public knowledge about MOT is using Q's handset ASICs so far. On the other hand, MOT's infra. business in Japan did use Q's ASICs. Hope this help and welcome comments from other reliable sources. Best, Brian H.
