<Also, for good measure, the companies had to throw in their GSM IPR as well. Think about it. All their WCDMA IPR AND all their GSM IPR was coughed up so they could pay Q the same royalty rate on 3G!> It is richly ironic that QUALCOMM is now collecting royalties on GSM built into cyberphones and those cyberphones. Because of the huge prevalence of GSM, most people will want multimode phones until 3G is ubiquitous and the GSM operators will want people to have them. Mqurice

Haven't heard these two whining?... Samsung's Lee Kun-hee and Son Korea's Richest By Cho Hyung-kwon Staff Reporter Samsung Group chairman Lee Kun-hee and his son, Lee Jae-yong, were ranked as the two richest businesspersons in Korea, online shareholding information provider Media Equitables said Monday. Media Equitables said that while Lee Kun-hee maintained his top position from last year, the younger Lee rose from third to second, thanks to the rise in Samsung Electronics¡¯ share price. Lee Kun-hee¡¯s stock value of listed and unlisted companies stood at 2.2 trillion won and Lee Jae-yong¡¯s stock holdings were valued at 1.16 trillion won. Last year, Lee Kun-hee¡¯s stock holdings were valued at 1.4 trillion won while Lee Jae-yong¡¯s holdings amounted to 920 billion won. Hyundai Automotive Group chairman Chung Mong-koo was behind Samsung Group¡¯s father and son, as the value of his listed and unlisted shares reached 1.15 trillion won. Shin Dong-bin, Lotte Group vice chairman, fell from second to fourth as his stock value rose only slightly from 936 billion won to 1.02 trillion won. SK Group¡¯s Chey Tae-won returned to the list of the 100 wealthiest businesspersons in Korea as he was ranked 49th with a stock value of 131 billion won. Last year, he failed to make the list as SK Group shares tumbled due to accounting scandals that hit the group¡¯s affiliates. kevincho@koreatimes.co.kr 10-04-2004 17:50 times.hankooki.com
