Fair 3G Royalties <"Fair" royalties for IPR depends on whether you are IPR rich or poor. The nature of property is that it is yours to have, hold, and use to your benefit. Depriving someone or their property is a matter of legal due process and not a matter of a majority vote of those who would love to acquire your property for little or nothing> Excellent rant John. I can quit if you keep this up and Ramsey keeps up the political stuff on China. Still they are talking about 5% as though it is some 'right' figure. How about 'what the market will bear'? This CDMA stuff is amazing, nobody else could breach the laws of physics. Q! people did it. Now, they deserve the full extorquerationate payment they have earned. 15% sounds more 'right' to me. R&D, creativity and a life's work should not treated with derision by offering a meagre 5% total for all IPR to make 3G work. Let's just forget it all. Stick with cdma2000. NTT can go with Ericy's VW40 version called W-CDMA, which at present drives around in the back of a truck and might or might not be ready in a real, working version which fits into a small, WWeb device before NTT DoCoMo loses all the Japanese subscribers to cdmaOne which is a wild success in Japan. The 3G negotiators in all the many bureaucratic bodies can get real jobs and let the market decide. They all claim to be in favour of 'letting the market decide'. Mqurice
