This outfit makes an interesting suggestion: Since a PC card represents the pure communication value of Q's IPR, why not base the royalty on the ASP of a PC card? By doing so, the value of Q's IPR can be determined without reference to the value added to a handset by non-radio IPR owned by others.

Such a view IMO does not take into account the value which Q adds to the WCDMA handset market.

We'll see lots more of these creative proposals, all of which slice Q's royalty income.
