The question of whether or not it is a good idea for someone to cheaply buy Korean fabs (assumming that they were for sale) brings back the debate of fixed costs versus marginal costs. If the marginal costs are not below selling price a fab purchased for zero cost would still be a bad investment. On the other hand, if marginal costs are below ASP then the only question is whether or not you can cover your fixed costs. In this business while a low fixed cost is important, a low marginal cost is critical.
