More patents in CDMA and OFDMA than any other company since acquisitions of Airgo and Flarion.
UMB-LTE: Win-win situation. Mobile WiMax is more problematic but won't take off because LTE is so much better. Start buying QCOM stocks...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19718800 Tue, 01 Jan 2008 16:22:43 EDT Re: Die Qualcomm, DIE ! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19699030 patcat88 :

After raping consumers with their proprietary CDMA2000/EVDO tech, it's time for Qualcomm to go and die quietly somewhere in a corner. I hope by 2015, i can drink a bottle of champaign in celebration of the death of this evil company !

They wont, they own the patents for UTMS/GSM 3G/WCDMA since they got the 3GPP/ITU to accept "CDMA" modulation for 3G GSM (although not the protocol, if they did, it would break compatibility with existing GSM infrastructure/billing/switches). Since they own EVDO (and its successor UMB) AND now the GSM family, either way you do it, they still get the $, so why should they care? LTE is cheaper for them since they won't have to develop it, just collect patent royalties, UMB is more expensive since Qualcomm would need to develop it.
