With respect to Q's suit against NOK, does anyone think that if true the use of Q's IPR outside of CDMA would constitute grounds to revoke NOK's license? It seems to me that using IPR of Q's to compete with CDMA (EDGE,GPRS) would have to be grounds. They did try to revoke TI's over a disclosure right? I have to assume that direct competition with the product is more offensive than a disclosure. Time to revoke.
Next question. I have heard all to long that someday Q's patents would expire and therefore the game would be over. However, if the above is true and NOK could not work around the patents to compete (EDGE, GPRS) does that not indicate that the patents that resulted are therefore essential too? They would not be so stupid as to infringe unnecessarily would they? I will assume that because they were the result of EV-DO development they are therefore of more recent origin.
Next one. The recent request by T-Mobil, VOD, and I think O2 with respect to patent trolls (GSM add-on patents) although seemingly negative to Q it is curious to me that they are the ones agressively deploying HSDPA wich according to Q is a result of lessons learned in DO.
So it seems to me that what has been happening is that when WCDMA was adopted it was nothing more than an attempt by the Cabal to wrest control of the technology roadmap away from Q. I see this in the EV-DV proposal. If so what does this mean with respect to EMP's and TI's "roadmap"? Is it catch up time? Are they zagging while Q is zigging? I think their relative market shares are poised to assume the trading volatility of Q.
I have my tickets for the show. Poor PJ-PJ will be out back in the alley getting rained on. Maybe I'll leave him the program, unless it's autographed of course.
