"...China, concerned about expensive royalties draining profits overseas"... This kind of phraseology keeps appearing and needs to be addressed. As QCOM is a company that singly has a very large % of essential CDMA IPR, QCOM makes an easy target for those who want to engage in this kind of phraseology. Let's take the GSM collective of companies that presumably have a lot of cross licensing amongst themselves and treat them as a single entity: "GSM Collective (GSMC)" so we can say QCOM and GSMC. The collective profits of GSMC is many times what QCOM makes. How does the royalty/IPR/etc. which goes to GSMC compare to QCOM? Is QCOM really requesting "expensive royalties draining profits overseas" compared to GSMC? John
