<A company spending $100 million a year on legal costs must either have a very good set of arguments to challenge the bullies or must not have thought out the costs and benefits of alternative policies, including lower royalty rates.>

I don't think lowering the royalty rate would end the war Art. The next go around, the snake NOK would want even a lower rate. The bully will continue to take your lunch money until you stand up to him. If QCOM reduces their royalties at this point the bully wins and knows just how to get what he wants.

NOK started this fight and QCOM will end it one way or another. The truth is on QCOM's side.
