So smart people: What is the royalty payment arrangement for companies who dont make phones and/or dont use ASIC chips?
<<Under the terms of the royalty-bearing agreement, Qualcomm has granted Novatel Wireless a worldwide license under Qualcomm's CDMA technology and patents to design and market modem card products for CDMA and HDR applications.>>

'Billions' of CDMA devices will be in use soon, some percentage will not be phones. In order to get a handle on the value going forward, we will need some idea as to how Qualcomm values these devices. I dont suppose they will all be lumped together in a '$10 bucks plus X% of the retail price' basket.

Thoughts?
