8ball, (fka 'lHubbber' freeloading again on SI and hiding behind SI anonymity while continuing to spout unsupported inanities)
<< How about that? The long-time and devoted shill for Nokia and the GSM industry is now an admirer of Paul Jacobs. >>
How about that?
Are you still seeking a Sancho Panza to support your whackaddoodle premises?

None seems to have emerged.

To: henry8 who wrote (61) | 8/12/2009 6:24:16 PM | From: henry8 | | | Now that Paul Jacobs has given the green light to Ericsson to acquire Nortel's CDMA assets, the question is how soon will CDMA subscribers begin to decline? And when they do, will Paul Jacobs still keep his job? After all, his own father when CEO said in 2000 that CDMA would be the predominant technology of subscribers signed up after the one billion mark, and his handpicked successor is still CEO. I mean, if Paul Jacobs is still CEO after such a gross mistake, it should be no problem for him to stay when CDMA subscribers begin to decline.
Maybe CDMA operators should cut their losses now, and get out of CDMA, into GSM. I'm not a proponent of GSM technology, but at least GSM vendors stand by their customers, unlike Qualcomm. |

You wouldn't be trying to hype Qualcomm to keep the stock price up, would you? |

Seems pretty clear to me what is going on here.....Have a nice day.....

FierceWireless: What do you think of Ericsson getting back into the CDMA business?
Paul Jacobs: I think it's really interesting that CDMA continues to grow. As 2G shipments are going down, 3G shipments are going up. We know people want data and they need it low-cost. All technologies have pluses and minuses and companies need the right one for the right opportunity. [July 30 2009]

Prior to March 25, 1999 could well be considered an "arch nemesis" of Qualcomm despite the fact that Ericsson was one of the leading proponents and commercializers of UTRA FDD WCDMA as the primary access mode of evolved GSM networks ...
... but they buried their hatchets on that date when they resolved all differences and Qualcomm announced the sale of its own CDMA wireless infrastructure business, including its R&D resources. Perhaps its time you buried your own obsolete virtual holy war gear ...
>> ERICSSON and Qualcomm Reach Global CDMA Resolution
Qualcomm Inc. New York March 25, 1999
qualcomm.com
ERICSSON (Nasdaq: ERICY) and Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM) today announced that they have entered into a series of definitive agreements that resolve all disputes globally between the companies relating to Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology. Under the agreements, ERICSSON and Qualcomm agree to jointly support a single world CDMA standard with three optional modes for the next generation of wireless communications, to enter into cross licenses for their respective patent portfolios and to settle the existing litigation between the companies. The cross licenses are royalty bearing for CDMA subscriber units sold by either party. In addition, ERICSSON will purchase Qualcomm's terrestrial CDMA wireless infrastructure business, including its R&D resources, located in San Diego, Calif. and Boulder, Colo., and will assume select customer commitments, including a portion of vendor financing obligations, related assets and personnel. The agreements are subject to necessary regulatory approvals and other customary conditions.
The agreement settles the litigation between ERICSSON and Qualcomm and provides for cross licensing of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) for all CDMA technologies, including cdmaOne™, WCDMA and cdma2000™. Qualcomm also will receive rights to sublicense certain ERICSSON patents, including the patents asserted in the litigation, to Qualcomm's Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) customers.
The companies have also agreed to jointly support approval by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and other standards bodies, including the U.S. Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), of a single CDMA third generation (3G ) standard that encompasses three optional modes of operation: 1) direct sequence FDD, 2) multi-carrier FDD, and 3) TDD. Each mode supports operation with both GSM MAP and ANSI-41 networks. Qualcomm and ERICSSON believe that rapid adoption of the single CDMA standard is in the best interests of the industry and allows each operator to select which mode of operation to deploy based on marketplace needs. As part of the agreement, the companies will each commit to the ITU and to other standards bodies to license their essential patents for a single CDMA standard or any of its modes to the rest of the industry on a fair and reasonable basis free from unfair discrimination. The companies will notify the ITU and other relevant standardization entities of the agreement to remove all IPR blocking currently in force.
The grants of licenses and the settlement of all litigation, as well as the commitment to standards bodies to license their essential IPRs, will become effective upon closing of the purchase of Qualcomm's terrestrial CDMA wireless infrastructure business.
"With the resolution of 3G and the cross-licensing of our patents, Qualcomm and ERICSSON have paved the way for the expansion of global CDMA-based wireless communications,'' said Dr. Irwin Mark Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer of Qualcomm Incorporated. ''ERICSSON's purchase of our infrastructure division underscores its commitment to CDMA, and allows ERICSSON, one of the world's leading telecommunications equipment manufacturers, to expand its CDMA capabilities. Qualcomm can now focus on its core businesses, including CDMA phones and chipsets, the Globalstar and OmniTRACS systems and new opportunities in digital cinema, wireless data and Eudora products and services."
"ERICSSON, through its agreement with Qualcomm -- a pioneer in developing CDMA technologies -- now has complete 3G competence," commented Sven-Christer Nilsson, president and chief executive officer of ERICSSON. "We are ideally positioned to support any operator anywhere in the world to migrate to 3G regardless of technology heritage or technology choice."
Qualcomm's terrestrial CDMA wireless infrastructure research and development and manufacturing division comprises infrastructure for cellular, PCS and wireless local loop. The acquisition provides ERICSSON with leading CDMA research and development, including the cdmaOne and cdma2000 product lines that ERICSSON will further develop and market. ERICSSON will establish a global CDMA center in San Diego, Calif.
"With the addition of cdmaOne and cdma2000, we will be well positioned to serve current and future CDMA markets, including the fast growing CDMA handset market," said Mr. Nilsson. "By combining this competence with our industry-leading capabilities in WCDMA, we intend to play a leading role in the converged world of wireless data services."
Qualcomm will incur a one-time charge in connection with the transactions contemplated by the agreements, the details of which it anticipates will be available when the Company announces results for its second fiscal quarter ending March 31, 1999.
Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM) is a leader in developing and delivering innovative digital wireless communications products and services based on the Company's CDMA digital technology.
