<The problem is that the Chinese got away with it when they demanded a lower royalty structure for domestically-consumed CDMA products and Dr. J. mistakenly gave in. > Maybe it wasn't a mistake. When they start exporting cyberphones and paying 7% royalty, that'll be a BIG pile of money in the till. Since there are 5 billion people outside China and only 1.3 billion inside, I think we might be on a winning streak there. It will also give impetus to cdma2000 against W-CDMA because China will see the opportunity and grab it with both hands, costing them internally only 2% or so. That will force everyone else's hand because China is BIGGG!! Even with 7% royalty, they'll probably undercut Korean and other CDMA exporters, so we'll do better from China's exports than Korea's. I like the 2% and 7% idea. Easier to enforce. Gets it going in China. More profit when they are succeeding [but not until]. Fair all around. Mqurice
