Thank you Cooters, The list that he has provided, allows the named companies to design and sell to others, CDMA ASICs in the merchant CDMA market. These sales of ASICs are subject to a royalty payment to you know who!
so then the handset manufactures (NOK MOT Samsung etc) have to buy the chips from that short list of companies, you listed or from QCOM, if I understand you correctly..do I??
And if that is so...then QCOM competes head to head with the QCOM licensees that manufacture those CDMA chips.
