I think Qualcom is the leader, it's their standard after all. This whole thing got a HUGE boast last week. China initially was not going to sign onto CDMA 'cause they want to have some leverage. I think last week they gave away the OK plus a whole bunch of other stuff 'ause they wanted Clinton's endorsement into the WTO. Of course, Clinton just took them for a ride and pulled the rug after he got all his goodies. But for CDMA, I think the commercialization is just starting, so there should be a lot of room down the road. If LSI's chip does work now, I think they are still in the game. Not an easy chip to develop. A lot of people tried and failed, I believe Sony was one of those. Probably the more technical guys like DavidG can add more details. Should also have a lot more info on the VLSI and Qualcom threads. patrick

Sorry Jock, didn't know I had gone underground... was just enjoying the run up of late, and trying to get a new business up and running. As some have mentioned, CDMA will probably provide the basis for a majority of the next generation of digital wireless communication, and QCOM owns a good number of patents on the technology. They've been very liberal in liscensing other manufacturers to increase the CDMA universe, but are still developing their own ASICs, handsets, and software. I haven't heard much on LSI's CDMA chipset since the initial announcement, but was hoping to see some news of somebody using the chips in a handset one of these days. DWB
