Vinnie, re: Foss on FTC may open up wireless chipset market...................

“....didn't Qualcomm used to license chip makers?...”

Yes, that’s my understanding also along with my recollection that with the BRCM and MediaTek “agreements” a “license” to manufacture 3G/4G chipsets was no longer required from QCOM.

However, those agreements did **not** exempt device manufacture customers of BRCM / MediaTek from the requirement to have a QCOM license.

Given the above, why would it be necessary for any chipset mfg to be a QCOM licensee?
