My comment below:

"I am not a techie..but I imagine that IDCC will benefit financially from the sale of these chips by Altmel..Perhaps some one can provide us with a copy of this license agreement? Does any one in the Industry know if these chips are available today or even if this old contract has been voided in the interim?"

There are no I-CDMA chips. Another bad idea that bit the dust. I-CDMA wouldn't have even worked in a mobile environment.

Reminds me of B-CDMA, another standard cobbled together that no one wanted. Despite all the B-CDMA hoopla from IDCC, all that technology ever did was fizzle. I still can't understand why so many people claim IDCC's technology is so great but that they just have trouble getting paid for it. Wouldn't others want to use it if it were that great? And if people were using it and not paying, wouldn't IDCC request a court injunction to get them to either pay up or stop selling the product?

IMO, the reason IDCC doesn't get injunctions is because no one is infringing their IPR. I don't buy the story about IDCC needing to play nice to build respect. Respect of your competitors is not needed to get a court injunction. The boosters have been blowing hot air again. If it doesn't pass the rationality test it's probably just more hype.
