>>>>Given that a lot of phone makers are probably chafing at paying Qualcomm's double tax, it wouldn't be surprising if they closed ranks around some of these competing products if only to free themselves from a monopoly. Think about it: How many microprocessor orders get thrown the way of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) because the big PC makers want an alternative to Intel (INTC)?<<<<

Damn, I knew I should have sold those Intel shares and picked up some AMD...NOT!

<H>

Thanx for that story. But what I never understand about these "monopoly" stories is how is a company expected to become a gorilla without exactly this business attitude and tactic? It's just a pre-requisite of becoming an Intel or Msft or Qcom. Maybe there'll be lots of complaints and ire and even 19 states suing--but business is not about being "nice"
