It seems to me that this current "situation" - i.e. depressed stock price and significantly increased legal expenditures begs another fundamental question of fairness and what is the "right" thing to do. QCOM should have or find a way to "reward" those licensees who do not cause them "grief", pay their royalties without a bunch of hassles, etc., etc., and do it in a way that is public or known within the industry, so as to serve as an example to those "folks" like Nokia and Broadcom. Why not reward your best customers with pricing discounts or some other means???? It certainly happens in many other industries such as construction, etc. Why not set up a means by which your best customers can better prosper along with you??? But then, how exactly can you do that and still remain FRANDLY ????

Doing so would seem to be in the long-term interests of QCOM shareholders. Making your best "partners" stronger within their respective niche would be a good thing I suspect!!
