Lets try to put this into perspective. If my math is correct 2.5 billion over 5 years in lost revenue or approximately 480 million per year. Assuming these chips in QCT had a net profit margin of 50% which I believe would be a record, would amount to 240 million a year in loss earnings or 60 million per Quarter in loss earnings.

With 1,674,233,000 shares outstanding, this would equal a average loss per quarter over 5 years of 4 cents per share. Not exactly earth shattering.

I would rather see Qcom take this loss, instead of giving Brcm a cross free license with pass through rights, in which would allow Brcm to feed Nokia royalty free chips.

Disclaimer ( I have little to no accounting skills ) please check my math.
