pcs, now you are stretching. Do you really think if Samsung or Sanyo had been allowed a Aisc license that they would still be buying the quantity of Asics from Qualcomm Samsung tried their own chips! And they came back to Q anyway. Now they also decided to use Q's WCDMA chip too. Is that because of Q's control? While the Companies who did have a built-in customer (MOT, NOK, etc) were NOT allowed to resell them to other phone manufactures. So you are saying Mot and Nok are not selling chips because of Q not letting them to do so? What a stretch! Then please tell me who are buying GSM chips from Nok and Mot? Doing in house chip for own use is different from doing chips for outside customer. The overhead, services, maintenance and other overhead will cut into your margin. Even that, Mot and Nok can't satisfy their own need with their own chips. Is that also because of Qcom?
