Boring.

IS54/TDMA, pumped by Ericsson as the next AMPS replacement was phased out for GSM five years ago by what is know known as Cingular.

No one holds most of the patents for GSM.

And exactly what is TDMA's share of the global handset market? Lets see, hmm, IDCC is just now getting paid for "past 2G" sales while still not getting current dollars from 3G majors and you expect people to believe that IDCC holds the keys to the kingdom? Compared to Q,who is everyone's bane,and yet, you act like IDCC is the undisputed leader. So I am to believe that you and others like you can recognize what the industry has had how long to analyze? Face it, you missed the boat on Q and assumed that 2G would translate equally to 3G and therefore IDCC would come out on top. The problem is that 3G and 2G are not the same animal. IDCC is but a pipsqueek compared to all threatening Q. I also like the fact that although people like you claim IDCC has the most goods you somehow are happy with 1%. Why is that? Hmm, TDMA is the basis of GSM which demands upwards of 15% yet IDCC with the most goods only asks for one. Well, which one is it? Are they so strong that they give up at minimum 4 points or are they like all lawyers linning their own pockets at the expense of shareholders. Why should you, the one with the goods accept only 1 instead of 5, 8, or ten?
