I know that this is just bullshit and has nothing to do with the actual agreements but I think looking from outside it would not be all that unreasonable.I don't understand why all people on this thread thinks that QCOM:s patents are more essential than the essential patents compared to other companies.QCOM didn't invent cellular. It comes down to negotiating leverage. Qualcomm could create a 3G CDMA standard without the IPR of Nokia and Ericsson. The converse wasnt true. I really dont think it is much more complicated than that. All this existed in earlier standards. Many of the basics of CDMA is not really rocket science. It isnt rocket science any more, but that's only because Qualcomm put the R&D into creating it in the first place. Slacker
