3G Chipset???

Does anyone honestly think George W. Bush actually knows what a 3G chipset actually is?

Qualcom v Broadcom

Verizon and Qualcom have been trying to monopolize several markets. Verizon has tried to limit competition via a patent infringement case against Vonage. Likewise, Qualcom has used lawsuits to monopolized the 3G handset market withoverly broad patents.

What goes around; comes around. Qualcom should be stopped or pay Broadcom big bucks for the Patent infringement.

More than meets the eye

There is more here than meets the eye which affects the Government's monitoring of US Civilians using Qualcomm chipsets. These phones have backdoors which give the government lots of capabilities which the average citizen will not comprehend. While I do NOT mind companies who make profit by doing good or providing cellphones to users, I do mind when government abuses power and which concurrently leads to misdeeds by the federal branch of government which have actually led to things I will not discuss on here but include horrendous acts.

Before joining Philips, from 1990 to 1998 Mr. McGregor served in various senior management positions, most recently as Senior Vice President and General Manager, at Santa Cruz Operation Inc. (SCO), a provider of network computing solutions. From 1985 to 1990 he served in senior positions at Digital Equipment Corporation (now part of HP) where he led the UNIX workstation software group and was one of the architects of the X Window System. Prior to joining Digital Equipment Corporation, he worked at Microsoft, where he was the Director of the Interactive Systems Group and the architect and development team leader of the original version of Microsoft® Windows®. Prior to Microsoft, Mr. McGregor spent over six years in various positions at the Xerox Corporation's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), where he was involved in designing software for the first personal computers employing graphical user interfaces. Mr. McGregor received a B.A. in Psychology and a M.S. in Computer Science and Computer Engineering from Stanford University.

This background is very important. While I will not dispute Qualcomm or their accomplishments, when patent rights triumph over doing good for society and humanity, and lead to unforseen consequences, the system needs to be changed. Broadcom is a science and engineering driven company moreso than Qualcomm IMHO.

The Xerox Parc connection is VERY IMPORTANT HERE.

Kudos to the jury!

I don't think that your innuendo of government wire tapping misdeeds based upon the Qualcomm chipset backdoors makes much of an argument for why the same government would ban the phones with those same chipsets.

That said, it does seem excessive to ban these phones and possibly hurt another cell phone company in the process.

Maybe he has better things to do. I bet if you ask anyone walking randomly down the street they wouldnt know what its was. Plus i think its not any of the presidents business.
Blame Qualcomm!

Re: More than meets the eye

"Qualcomm has asked President Bush to step in and rescind the ban."

This is the issue here. I agree with the ITC ruiling and the JURY. I do NOT agree with Qualcomm or President Bush and this is the part I was referring to.

The argument here is why the ITC ruling should stand. If it does not then what I mentioned will occur and has occured to this date in fact.

The patents are on the internet for all to see:

»www.pcworld.com/article/id,13235···cle.html

Take the patent numbers and enter them in the USPTO Patent database or use Google patent search.

I think its amazing to say the least that Amir Morad attended the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology on one of the patents of which Broadcom actually held.

Considering Udi Manber also attended there, it speaks volumes about the credibility of the graduates coming out of that school. At Qualcomm on the other hand, you saw a marketting and sales oriented company which met eye to eye with the existing carriers like Verizon Wireless and BREW for instance which led to the inherent abuses we saw rather than an equal and fair playing field so the BEST competition was effectively removed from the marketplace.

In this new era of openness, Broadcom was able to win the patent and now the key is going to be what the federal government does here.

One needs to understand the patents and needs to look them over to understand.

Bush can ask Sen. Stevens of Alaska what a 3G chip is. Then Bush will know a 3G chip is not a dump truck.

This gives one a peripheral vision of what a 3G chipset can do.

Thats what Verizon gets...

Irony is something I tell ya! Vonage was sued like crazy for infringement, and by Verizon no less. If you ask me, they need a taste of their own medicine. I hope they get a ton of issues related to this headache, and learn a lesson, and that is to not screw over the little guy. Ha, I know it's wishful thinking though...

EDIT: Old habits are hard to break, like screwing over the little guy.

Qualcomm

Qualcomm, Qualcomm what do we say. GSM is here to stay. There is a new world order, that is the rule.
Bush will do as his leaders say.

Wow, everything after the first line of your post makes as much sense as President Bush himself.

GSM 3G handsets use WCDMA technology for their high-speed. So this affect GSM handsets too, dummy.
