Same way royalty-pregnant GSM competed with IS-95. Many of the players will no doubt participate in a patent pool, and the lower pool royalty rates will be available only to pool members. Pool members who seperately license, or x-license non-poolers will be able to charge them uniformly higher rates. At least that's the way these types of arrangements have typically functioned in the past. Eric L. might have a better perspective on how the DS IPR cost structure is likely to play out.

I think that the Bottom line is that QCOM seems to be in the drivers seat and it will not agree to it unless it sees it in its best interest.
