RE: What was that paper Q signed at the gate to ITU??? I'm working under the assumption based on Eric's response that the Q agreement with China "may" mean that if a licensee is using Q's chips the reduced royalty rate applies and if they are using a non-Q chip the customary royalty rate applies. I'm assuming that China is unlikely to allow an outsider, whether it's Nokia, Samsung, Ericcson or Toys R Us, to enter their market without partnering with a local outfit. China, or anybody else in this game for that matter, won't do anything where they don't perceive they are getting more than they put in unless they absolutely have to. Maybe Nokia could get into the market unpartnered in exchange for the promise of substantial technology transfer or the promise of relocating a significant part of their supply chain to China. If I'm wrong on the chip supply part please give me a nudge. By way of disclaimer I have equally minuscule amounts invested in Nokia and Qualcomm and a slightly larger minuscule amount invested in Arms. I'm just hoping they can get the whole thing sorted out and rolling sometime in my lifetime.
