Frank, I'm sorry but I don't follow your explanation. You seem to be saying that royalties and contract services are bundled on the financial statements to "function as a point of integration of technology." What does that mean? I think these two items are combined to obscure the source of their revenues. IDC claims royalties from GSM and TDMA phones but with this bundling it is impossible to tell how much is royalty and how much is contract services. Even more troubling, we can't tell whether royalties are growing or shrinking. I suspect the latter. Bux
