">>> Personally I think Europe should not bow to the bully tactics of the US, but in practice they might, again. After all we Europeans are a bunch of pinko sissies (we destroyed the continent twice this century before we learned to be that way). So my gut feeling: 30% chance of royalties.But if royalties are to be agreed to they are going to be pretty light. Europe will be listening to the US govt. but not Q since they have no presence or influence here. Its like some individual European company with no market or legal position in the US would be trying to dictate the new US communications standard (after you have stopped laughing at the stupid thought remember that you are probably betting on a similar scheme).<<<" How about this: Europe wants to go W-CDMA. Q has the patents. Why? Q INVENTED the technology for using CDMA for wireless communications. If it wasn't for Q there'd BE NO W-CDMA for Europe to move to. Or attempt to STEAL. But that's Europe for you: a bunch of pinko sissies who attempt to steal the ideas of others and rename them for use behind the high and forbidding tariff-strewn walls of FESTUNG EUROPA; puh- leeze GIVE me a break!
