Nokia's Qualcomm Smear Campaign Won't Work

" Nokia (NOK) wakes up one day and decides that it is tired o"
>>&g... Last year, NOK had already sued over QCOM with other 5 boys. It is not "finally" wake up.
Year 2001-2003, NOK, TXN and maybe STM, win over QCOM to have the right to develop CDMA2000 chips,phones. Wish you enjoy this story.


"Ojanpera was playing to a receptive crowd - Qualcomm has been the punching bag of Korea's techno-nationalists for years."
>>&g... You hit the process of one story but not disclose the end of the story. The end is, currently, Korean govement do not allow SKT, KTF to upgrade Qualcomm's CDMA tech to a new enhanced version called Rev. A, which aka. 3.7G, 3.5G,whatever.
Instead, SKT and KTF are promoting UMTS evolution version HSPA. This monthing, they got 1.2 and 0.8 million subscribers each. Nearly all the enrollment is happened in this half year.
Besides, Korean folks are doing their own version of Wimax, which is not Qualcomm's baby but INTC's.
So if what I said is true, do not think NOK's appeal is meaningful, realistic, profitable or just a show?


"When they found they had to adopt it for 3G, they struggled for two years to figure out how to make it work because they wouldn't ask Qualcomm for assistance."
>>&g... Wait a minute, you mean which 3G? CDMA2000 EVDO, EVDV or another one called W-CDMA or UMTS? When did NOK ask QCOM for help on UMTS, which actually was proposed by NTT Docomom, NOK, ERIC is the late 90's?
Now NOK has quit from C2000 tech, so does a bunch of folks like ERIC, TXN. There is no futher needs for QCOM's help.


"Remember, if you will, that Qualcomm is NOT a competitor - it is merely an upstream technology provider. A vendor."
>>&g... NOK hopes so, but the reality is, Qualcomm's chip empowers every phone of LGE, Samsung, 1/4 of MOTO, nearly, in 3G.

Nokia does have a twisted view of their non-existent dominance in the global wireless market.
>>&g... Nearly 40% handset market share. Its tech friends, Ericsson,which also champion GSM, UMTS, own 30%-50% base station business. Where is your really-dominant CDMA folks, like LGE, Alcatel-Lucent, Nortel?
So I guess you mean it should be like int he senate, that >66.6% can be called dominant.


MediaFLO vs DVBH is GSM vs CDMA all over again.
>>&g... Wow, wow, what a kind analogy. Wait a minute, who denote who? MediaFlo is like a GSM? Well, Mediaflo is a Qualcomm own, Qualcomm Sell, Qaulcomm Earn tech, a privately raised up pet. GSM belong to a bunch of collaborators. So if you should better mean that, MediaFlo = CDMA?
Then you are more wrong. CDMA, 300million around subscribers today, in this planet. GSM/UMTS, 2.2billion. My rigged numbers? Google it, go to GSM, CDMA's forum, boaster website.
Now who is more successful? You analogy is perfect!

", then why did you base UMTS on CDMA technology?"

>>&g... And so what? Qualcomm build CDMA2000 on its own CDMA tech. Pure? No trouble? Now ITC give a ban, said it use Broadcom's cell selection, battery save tech.
