More of the standard socialist thinking = confiscate Qualcomm's property and give it to Nokia, spectrum owners and others in the chain of suppliers delivering mobile cyberspace to subscribers. Qualcomm should charge what the market will bear, the same as Nokia does for the devices they sell, the same as chip makers do for their devices, the same as spectrum owners do for their spectrum. The idea that intellectual property is different from handsets is daft. Nokia wouldn't like people copying their handsets right down to the name of the front. Qualcomm is the same. There are property rights provided by modern governments. Nokia enjoys those property rights just as Qualcomm does. The idea of robbing patent owners rather than trademark or device design owners is because patents inventions are intangible property. A device is a "thing" and seen as an "invention" worth something because some effort went into making it. A brand is seen as property too. An idea is not seen as an "thing"; it just exists like a law of nature. The USA had better protect intellectual property because that's the foundation of a great deal of USA wealth. Mqurice
