Qualcomm would be in worse position if the governments handed out spectrum in beauty contests where the established cabals would have the sway.

Maurice, you said "It's called a market. Supply and demand," but then you also said that QUALCOMM didn't charge high enough royalties. Isn't that contradictory? If Q raised its royalty prices, wouldn't demand go down? Conversely, if Q had lowered its royalty rates, wouldn't that increase demand? Although many of us think the current royalty rates constitute an offer no rational service provider could refuse, the fact is that some still refuse! ArtB
