Alfa, the total royalty on W-CDMA is apparently about 12%. QUALCOMM gets 5%. So the others get 7%. Nokia has a lot of the bells and whistles patents so they'll be getting a good chunk of that 7%. So they must have licences which are paid for.

Do we really know this? Is there any direct evidence for the 12%, and in turn, 7% figures? I am unaware of anything that would support these numbers, but am very interested if such info is out there.
