Yes, but there is a real cost for not entering a market until your late. Also the cost of customer development is a huge one and not one in which you turn on by singing a component contract. It takes time. NOK could have bought Q's chipsets for the first 3 years and continued on making their own chipsets in the background. Meanwhile the CDMA division could have run alot closer tot he black and they would have been building all these customer relationsihps. but they choose to not do anything and wait and put tremendous pressure on their engineers to perform meanwhile loosing credibility and customer loyalty in the process. Attention to margin is one thing. Market suicide is yet another.
