I don’t see how Qualcomm can move into that market quickly, unless Flarion had a secret TDD product they never revealed. Anyway, Qualcomm is already covertly in the mix. Navini’s pre-WiMax stuff is CDMA. Meanwhile, IPWireless is offering a 3G solution for the TDD crowd, which has got to be appealing to anyone who doesn’t want to wait another year or more for mobile WiMax. This is why I was kind of surprised that Qualcomm reps were jocking Verizon at a recent meeeting with an organization that was thinking of building their own network. Apparently, even they don’t realize that they get royalties from all this CDMA-based pre-WiMax stuff.

Why? Do they want to kill their sales for 18 more months on purpose?
