Qualcomm Deal May Set Wireless Standard In China

Qualcomm's usual fee is between 5% and 10% of the revenue a licensee earns from its products, but
China Unicom has been trying to drive that down, arguing it deserves a discount because the
market here is far bigger than in most countries. Qualcomm is concerned that if China receives a
price break, Korean and Japanese companies will want lower prices, too.


See what happens when you grab the Tiger by the tail.
