Puck, the B part could also be made by someone else e.g. Casio -would they have to pay a license fee to QCOM? Can't be possible. I can see where if you want license from QCOM, you have to sign a contract with many conditions but I have not read any about this. Since Bluetooth is an open standard any company would be able to manufacture the B part without paying QCOM since it's not clear what the A part is -it could just as well be GSM or GPRS -it's independent.
