Japanese, European firms battle Qualcomm over cellular standard

Article Abstract:

Qualcomm is threatening to mount a technological warfare against Japan if Japanese and European cellular equipment manufacturers fail to negotiate with the firm. Qualcomm's digital cellular standard, which is called code division multiple access (CDMA), is being used by companies such as Lucent Technologies and Motorola. DoCoMo's development of Wideband-CDMA has been perceived by Qualcomm as a major assault to its CDMA. In turn, Qualcomm is also developing its own 3G technology called CDMA2000.
