the GSM royalty rates to new competitors would surely argue .... What are those rates today... and does that matter? The supposed range for outsiders was between 29% for outsiders early on to 0% in China until... X. That was then. If the comparison between gang of five historically high 2GSM royalties and Qualcomm's WCDMA claim is "market precedent" there is no case, but the complaints are not that simple. 5% for cdmaOne was surely low by comparison, but this is about 5% for the dense structural timbers underlying WCDMA vs. the big lightweight raft of add-ons from the GSM builders accepted as "essential", and there seems to be no precedent. (which is why Qualcomm set up a way of doing business so fair and reasonable that all the players signed on).
