Hey Mike, Are you questioning my formula/big picture? : )
Let me just remind you that $12 Billion is only for royalties and it does not include ASIC, BREW, SnapTrak, etc revenues.
I am not sure what the source is for the quote that the total market for 3G could reach as high as $300 Billion. This figure might also include spectrum costs paid to different governments around the world and Nextwave in the US. : )
So I am willing to reduce "Toll Gate" Charges by a third to $4 Billion in the next 5 years. This figure comes out to an average of $750 Million per year for the next 5 years.
If Toll Gate charges does not add up to this figure by 2006 I will hopefully be able to buy your wine using my income from another favorite gorilla of yours: Siebel.
You got a deal if you agree with the $4 Billion "Toll Gate" revenue which I just reduced (What's a few billion between ggamres). If you decided to come to the great Bay Area to receive your price, then I will personally drive you and Uncle Frank to the Wine Country.
If I win, I will take my price in Chili or France. By the way, I really appreciate everyone's input in this thread.
