<The deals mean Korean phone manufacturers could save millions by switching suppliers from Qualcomm,
which holds key patents on CDMA technology, to other U.S. chip set makers like DSP and LSI Logic. "The supply price is lower than Qualcomm by 20 to 30 percent, and domestic mobile phone manufacturers want
to be out from under its shadow," an industry source said.>
The way this is phrased, it appears to be incorrectly implying that other chip set makers do not have to pay royalties to Qualcomm and that's why they can offer such lower prices. I therefore found the article very confusing, unless the guy who wrote it just doesn't know what he's talking about, which appears to be the case.
