Molly "Darrell figures claim approx 6% royalty rate ($3.13 on a $55 BOM 'phone) based on the $300 million licensing revenue. That makes it easy to pro-rate the per 'phone figure, if one accepts the 12% (IDC revenue came from 12% of TDMA sales) and 800million total 'phone sales"

the 6% is wrong (even if $3 is 6% of $55 - that $3 "per phone" must be broken down to figures relative to licensing revenue derived from intial infrastructure buildout, reocurring revenue per new buildout, and reocurring revenue per phone). the $3 per phone was, and is, an average combining all revenue sources from tdma to date. reletive to future revenue received per phone, without additional cell structuring, this number would not be correct. that is not to say that i don't know what the average number is per phone. that's something you'll need to work out yourself, I guess. i gave those numbers as a general guide.
