DS: Huh? "We must assume that QCOM's sale of IPR and Spinco's x-licensing of IPR will convey with it enough information for the buyers to write software. So software is not a high BTE. It does not make Spinco a Gorilla."

Why? Didn't work for Nokia, even with a chip license and/or even earlier more broad IPR licenses for handsets.

What makes you assume that Spinco does not keep control of the second and third of the 3 essential levels of software and the necessary knowhow - yes the embedded software goes with the chips but what else?

Trying to understand your thinking.

And again, we are still dealing with limited info here. A decision on what Spinco is in fact will be clearer over time.
