Engineer / Slacker, re: BRCM /NOK6 vs the Q and “, I think it is a fantasy to believe that Qualcomm can unilaterally raise the IPR rates on existing licenses.” <<<<<<<<

“Unilaterally”, far from it---- at the decree of the EC in response to BRCM and the NOK6 with the support of the GSMA . ..... or, “ the Devil made us do it”

Re: “whining fleet of 747's”

Exactly, I rather doubt that this complaint will endear BRCM with the Korean and other Asian Handset manufactures currently partnering with the Q. Talk about “shooting oneself in the foot” !!!! Now who is BRCM going to peddle their goods too, NOK, EMP, NEC? Maybe Panasonic.

WRT the above, did you catch Dr. Jacobs’ response to Modoff’s question if they had been speaking with the carriers yet with the reply>>>>> Not the carriers yet but with some of our handset partners.
