They don’t give a damn if QCOM is a net collector of royalties so long as they pay less overall than their direct (i.e. handset manufacturing) competitors do. If that is the case than the EU case should be a slam dunk. The Chinese competitors Qualcomm has enabled pay 7% while Nokia (and the other ex cabel crowd + Koreans) pay 5%. Aren't you saying a 2% difference is not enough for them to complete against Chinese imports? Maybe Nokia needs to look into other ways of improving their operational margins. They certainly seem to spend a lot on splashy marketing and handset design. How are Qualcomm royalties responsible for those costs?
