To date, most of those *subscriber* licensees have elected to purchase their CDMA integrated circuits and system software requirements from us

Thank you, Slacker. I had to re-read it twice more before I understood what the original sentence meant and agree that the word "subscriber" is missing. It makes much more sense with this change.

Dumb question of the day....why is Qualcomm's tax rate so high? I cant remember ever seeing a company paying 45% income tax. I took a look at Cicso and Microsoft....they paid 41.6% and 35% respectively in their most recent quarters. Obviously a small sample size, but these are among the two most consistently profitable companies out there....What does Qualcomm do differently than these two companies?
