Unicom had received a "sweetened" deal based in some way on performance. That would seem to imply some "wiggle room". Lurquer, logically the performance based sweetened deal would be mainly on ASIC pricing - plus maybe some "free engineering" on technology transfer. When anybody is selling product versus pure IPR the ETSI undertakings wouldn't be applicable. Witness deals being offerred in Korea. Read the term "non-discriminatory" in the legal sense, not what a man on the street thinks it means. And make the distinction between licensees and product customers. Your prior example was clearly discriminatory between competing licensees.
