In the latest edition of the
love-hate Nokia-Qualcomm legal nastiness that's taking up
way too much time these days, those mobile phone giants in Finland have asked a Texas court to make Qualcomm stop infringing on six of its MediaFLO implementations. Nokia has some gall to countersue Qualcomm over some specific tailoring of the MediaFLO and BREW standards seing as both are Qualcomm technologies. Those Finns are accusing Qualcomm here of "effectively copying Nokia's innovations." And, Nokia says that its patents are at the core of MediaFLO (broadcast quality) and BREW (application download enabling). Why don't these two just get in the ring and rumble? Enough with silly suits/countersuits already.

Hm, could this finally be the end of CDMA/EVDO?

How would a lawsuit over MedioFLO (a mobile TV service) possibly be the end of CDMA/EV-DO?

I'm not being serious.

MediaFlo is has a lot of similar elements than DVB-H, which Nokia pioneered already for many years, and is being rolled out in most parts of asia and Europe.
