hello Kent. do qcom's key patents expire in 2006? I wouldn't know. perhaps you saw 2 posters said they'd searched the patent website and found this to be true. i take it "end of next decade" is 2020 and end of this decade is 2010. but does the revenue stream end when the patents expire? i suppose Q could require such as unicom to sign on for x-years longer than 2006, but how much longer.
this could all be moot if the first premise is wrong.
