Steven - But if, for example, Mot or Noka (each of which, it has been asserted on this thread) has sourced ASICs from non-Q sources) for a CDMA phone, and if it is true that Q does not permit its ASIC licensees to sub-license, what, if any, is the basis for royalty revenues on handsets sold by Mot or Noka, where there seems to be no privity? But there is privity, just not of physical property. Qualcomm owns the rights to intellectual property used in the actual air interface and protocol stacks. They 'leased' these rights in exchange for royalties. Hope this helps. Clark PS You're giving away your profession.<g>
