I hope everyone is pumping out ASIC's and paying royalties to Q! The problem with this is that I think that Q makes more money off of selling an ASIC and then also collecting a royalty than when somebody else sells the ASIC. If DSP sell's a CDMA ASIC the Q will get a royalty....but I can confidently say that it is not in the 30% range that the Q makes off of their own ASIC sales. If anyone has any sources (Gregg Powers would be great) that indicate that a sale by an ASIC competitor would be bottom-line neutral, I would love to see it. Slacker
