Morning Ben, As Dr. J. would say, negotiations should be very very interesting. Could be many factors to consider. Back when negotiations with the Chinese were taking place, there were press reports suggesting that the lower Chinese royalty rate came with other conditions in addition to the lower rate applying only to domestic manufacturers' selling into the domestic market. Other conditions I recall consist of, 1) chipsets have to be purchased from Q, 2) chipset prices were fixed (at $24 to $26?), and 3) the lower royalty rate did not apply to more advanced cdma products. No doubt Q will give something up to the Koreans but I suspect it wont be much. Whatever it is, the price to get into the Chinese market will be well worth it...and then some!
