sounds to me as if there is no royalty for infra

Under the terms of the multi-million dollar expansion, Nokia has also been granted a royalty-bearing license under QUALCOMM’s patents to make and sell infrastructure equipment for all CDMA wireless systems....

Pardon if you were referring to something else.

JGoren: Given your skill as a lawyer and your correct calls on NextWave, I respect your view.

But, nothing would surprise me more.

Everything in the history of Qualcomm would indicate that Nokia will pay exactly the same royalties for infrastructure that any other licensee pays.

The only "break" (if there is one) is keeping whatever royalty Nokia has paid for handsets (now more broadly - subscriber terminals) as the original 1992 agreement.

And it is unclear what that is.

Best.
