George <<The differences among the various 3G schemes are mostly cosmetic. All depend on Qualcomm intellectual property and unformulated experience (what Michael Polanyi calls tacit knowledge) about how to make CDMA systems work. >> how is it then that Nokia can claim (an executive there) in it's WCDMA testing that they are using no Q ASIC nor intellectual property? Where does the Q fit in? I'm not trying to be argumentative - but need to establish the facts in my own thinking. It seems to me that you can't stand Qs 3G efforts up on tacit apriori knowledge (hardware needs to work it's way in somewhere). Golden Bridge is claiming Q's property is not needed at all in a 3G deployment. For this reason AT&T has been working with them (their claim, not mine).
