GSM royalties... There has been a lot of speculation about the huge GSM royalties that Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson & Co have been collecting over the years. Quartersayer got 6 recommendations for his post, which at least gives the impression that GSM phone manufacturers in China and some other countries had paid NO royalties for GSM until 2004. And we do not know whether they have started paying after 2004, at least I haven't seen any comments on the success of the 2004 negotiations. Quartersayer's post had comments like ...holders of GSM patents may propose a 5% charge..., ...time of free use of patents is over for Chinese companies... and ...the major owners of GSM IPR are beginning to charge patent fees... I am kind of surprised that quartersayer got no replies to his post!
