<Qualcomm Inc. and Nokia Corp. are engaging in a high-stakes game of chicken, and Nokia's chief financial officer says his company is not about to blink. > ... or think. That should be fun. The immovable meets the irresistible. Nokia can pay a LOT less royalty. <"We won't pay more," Mr. Simonson said in an interview Monday. "We expect to pay less." > When they go back to making gumboots, they'll be paying no royalties at all to QUALCOMM. Perhaps that will make them happier. I wonder what they'll do with their GSM and other patents. Perhaps they'll sell them because they won't be collecting much from their cross licences and other sources. QCOM could buy their patents from them then everyone will be happy. There are plenty of companies which will be thrilled if Nokia ditches QCOM intellectual property so a big chunk of market share will be up for grabs. Mqurice
