This theory was brought sometime ago concerning the infrastructure (yes, alright it was me). Royalties are based on a percentage sale, but a percentage sale of what. How far to the RF components can a supplier legitimately call not a CDMA network. The RF part is not exactly the major component here. A supplier could sell in packages and the last remaining 'package' being the CDMA interface which they sell at cost.

Anyway, it really doesn't matter anymore as we progress to an economy of scale that means the royalties for whatever will be small enough to be of little consequence to the overall cost.
