Tero - I'm sorry, but as the lawsuits against Qualcomm keep piling up there comes a point where you have to wonder is the company really realizing the benefits of alliance-building and winning over new friends instead of alienating the existing power base. Well, we agree. But keep in mind that other companies have done similar things and succeeded. Microsoft is the most prominent example of a company that was hated by most others in the industry from the get-go and yet they pulled it off. But it is problematic. Decision makers aren't unemotional robots and I've actually seen many executives make decisions not because they were the best ones, but just to screw some company or group they didn't like. Clark PS Although none of us have seen the Korean ETRI contract, lets assume that it does say royalty sharing for Cell band CDMAOne. What would you, as ETRI, do? I'd be pretty pissed off that Qualcomm had snuck one by me. And if I were an in-your-face negotiator I'd probably bluster and sue.
