Jay, I thought that the preferred animal on this thread was the pachyderm. Dung beetles don't like the hard little balls produced by sheep. We like nice soft matter that we can roll up into balls whose size we determine.

not after QCOM is boxed in by patent cross-licensing deals. The Japanese, Swedish, Chinese and Germans will figure it all out collectively, and QCOM will be sheared and left in the soaking rain. You NZ-ders know how that works

I have the highest regard for your acumen and sagacity, but this bit is wrong. Most major companies, including Nokia and many Chinese, have made "use one, pay for all" royalty deals for QCOM patents. There is nothing left to cross-license with which can box QCOM in, especially after Nokia gave its GSM IPR to QCOM on a royalty-free basis a few weeks ago. It's a beautiful thing. Checkmate in three-dimensional chess.

Profitable? We'll see.
