cfoe, >>Also, I will take the royalty and infra numbers mentioned in your translation and see if I can arrive at what it might mean to QCOM's eps this year.



I'm dying to see that. Of course neither China nor India nor South America have been worked into the stock price today.

I did not notice any mention that requires use of QCOM's ASICs by Chinese handset manufacturers or a contracted price for
QCOM ASICs. However, I remember that in some previous post that Chinese would use QCOM ASICs and get a favorable price.


The ASIC requirement is part of the framework agreement signed last year. IJ has recently stated that the framework agreement is in effect. I believe the agreement required Chinese handset manufacturers to purchase ASICs from Qualcomm as long as the chips remain competitive in both function and price. I don't see a problem here.

Royalties for China *may* include some sort of sliding scale, i.e. the more (and within certain time-frames) they produce, the lower the price in order to offer incentives for immediate ramp-up of CDMA in China, hence world-wide acceptance of CDMA as defacto front-runner. I had heard the 3.5% number previously from some smear-article by Reuters last April, but without context.
