A FRANDly agreement with Broadcom would of course include any payments QUALCOMM has to make to third parties such as Verizon:

<And remember that anything Verizon pays will likely come out of Q's pocket as all license agreements have indemnification provisions whereby the licensor indemnifies the licensee (Verizon) from any liabilities and claims by third parties arising from any IP infringement. I expect Verizon will pass through all of its payments to Q, so Verizon does not care >

So the royalty will be $6 plus 5.5% plus an upfront signing fee of $20 million [to cover legal costs] plus $300 million or maybe $1 billion [inflation and all that since the original upfront fees] .... plus 'over a barrel' payment ... plus risk adjustment and market growth fee.
