Don't count of this lasting long. Verizon's well paid goon squad will end it somehow.
I don't think this will last long personally. The cellular industry in the US is gaining muscle and this will affect not only Sprint but Verizon and at&t as well. Not much can bring these 3 parties together besides this... I'd look for there to be some agreement soon. I'd also bet it means price increases.
we, as consumers, are going to be SCREWED when it comes to phone selection if this ban isnt lifted.
as if it isnt bad enough already compared to europe/asia.
If this continues it will not hurt them, it will hurt consumers.
I highly dislike Broadcom and Nokia for this. Qualcomm I always like and will always.
I'm hoping that Nokia and Broadcom can get on the ball and produce CDMA chips themselves so that we can have new phone outside of the Qualcomm blockade. Another USA manufacturer wouldn't hurt either.
This ban will affect the entire cellphone industry, not just the CDMA.
Who banned who, why, and what does that mean for CDMA carriers?
ITC= International Trade Commission
Any other information that you need let me know.
