From WIMAX Forum:
""An attractive IPR structure is another advantage of WiMAX compared to 3G technologies. Royalties paid by manufacturers on WCDMA phones are an average of 10% to 15% of the Average Selling Price (ASP) of a handset, compared to a telecommunication industry norm of 2% to 5% [1][2]. A less onerous IPR model will lead to a substantial reduction in equipment prices and fair treatment of vendors without essential IPR, which in turn will increase competition in the market and the attractiveness of WiMAX to network operators. The WiMAX Forum is currently exploring, and will endorse, solutions to provide a fair and reasonable rate and framework that will benefit both IPR holders and other vendors.""

Too bad QCOM is not in the WIMAX Forum
