That is true. the market was up yesterday due to this announcement. However I am still curious which system it really is. I dont believe Ericy's WCDMA actually exists as anything more then a bad copy of CDMA2000. Since lucent is doing it, and have much more experience with CDMA2000/CDMAIS95 I would assume it is really CDMA2000 they are talking about. I want to know what chip rate they plan to use!

Morgan - Engineer? Gregg P? It's my understanding that if it has CDMA anywhere in the name [inre NTT deal], we get paid. A small exageration(sp?). We may not get paid much (if anything) for B-CDMA (a WLL system), or military CDMA systems (GPS). But in this case you are correct that we will almost certainly get royalties, but if it is W-CDMA that they are implementing we may have a harder time keeping our ASIC share or shipping handsets into it.
