I'd hate to see nokia shoved/pressured to accept qualcomm technologies (cdam, brew & mediaflo).

i don't think you guys at engadgetmobile knew, but qualcomm owns mediaflo

long live gsm, java, and dvb-h! don't cave nokia!]]>Jan 9th 2007 4:59AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/01/09/nokia-qualcomm-considering-arbitration-to-make-amends/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/01/09/nokia-qualcomm-considering-arbitration-to-make-amends/
They gain IP by either patenting existing technologies (CDMA was used by the military long before Qualcomm started to take an interest) or by buying existing companies. Their solutions lock manufacturers and carriers into Qualcomm's equipment and technology, before bleeding them dry.

It's no wonder that Nokia are refusing to pay and it's no wonder that developing nations are migrating their IS-95/CDMA2000 networks to GSM.]]>Jan 9th 2007 8:55AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/01/09/nokia-qualcomm-considering-arbitration-to-make-amends/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/01/09/nokia-qualcomm-considering-arbitration-to-make-amends/Qualcomm charges people for using their technology? so what? Isn't that how business works, they develop a technology (or buy a company that has technology they want) and then charges others for using it, makes perfect business sense.

Nokia is the evil on in this case! why does the whole world have to give into sub-standard products (nokia) just because they are the giants in the market. I personally think Nokia should go back to being a lumber-mill, and if they insist on using Qualcomm's IP then they should be prepared to pay for it.

As for the Media Flo comment above. yeah it is true QCOM own it but at the same time it's superior to DVB-H as it supports multiple formats on the same device rather than forcing the world to use Nokia standards, so that nokia can then impose their rule and their anti-competative ways.]]>Jan 9th 2007 10:52AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/01/09/nokia-qualcomm-considering-arbitration-to-make-amends/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/01/09/nokia-qualcomm-considering-arbitration-to-make-amends/Jan 11th 2007 12:58AM
