>> Quite obviously, cmda expertise is with Qualcomm >> That's quite true when it comes to IS-95 or narrow band CDMA. When it comes to expertise and who has devoted the most time in wide band cdma and has the most promising asics you might want to look at Interdigital and Golden Bridge Technologies. Interdigital has already held a shareholder conference call over a wideband cdma fixed wireless local loop and has demonstrated data at ISDN speeds. Nokia for some reason has a real interest in IDC and as released today claimed great success over the last few months. Funny how they just started their relationship with Nokia in February and now is proud they did 384kps. If Nokia and IDC are successful with their 3-G will they owe the Q ? The inventor who sold his patents for broadband to IDC has said the Q's patents aren't neccessary to produce b-cdma. Many new issues will be coming out as 3-G tries to become a reality. With 2-G digital handsets just out selling analog for the first time in 1998 the 3-G effort will keep threads like this going for quite some time. With many thinking GSM/TDMA is toast and CDMA will crush them CDMA itself may be toasted itself by a form of w-cdma. The companies that own the IPR in wide band and are able to obtain performance will be the winners.
