Aloha Mike, there is a big difference between flexible pricing of a product, royalty, or licensing fee for a monopoly. No one would argue that QUALCOMM has a monopoly in wireless technology, inasmuch as about 80 percent or more of wireless phones use technologies other than CDMA. With some 90 percent of PC's using Windows, that is a monopoly, and, at least according to the federal district court, monopoly status limits the amount of flexible pricing that the monopolist has a legal right to use.
