Qualcomm yanks VLSI license to block Philips from CDMA-chipset market

I hope that works out OK. Wouldn't this make DSP, LSI Logic and PrairieComm a bit nervous? If it looks like you'll be a strong competitor, we'll yank your license? (assuming the analysts are correct). Given the Q/MOT relationship, if Motorola bought out DSP, you'd think the DSP license would get yanked too. Maybe not the best comparison, but it reminds me a bit of RMBS. The more you are in control of the technology (and getting royalties), the more nervous those that depend on you get, and the harder they work on alternatives. OK, so I'm paranoid tonight. Will be interesting to hear more from QCOM on this.
