Eric-- in the October 28th conference call, what do you think might have been the response to something like this: Why did those companies among you which have licenses agree to the royalty terms of your exisitng contracts with Qualcomm? Was it the recognition of unfavorable earlier court findings, or did Qualcomm have so abusive a monopoly power at that time that you were coerced as a matter of urgency to sign and not challenge them? Or have things WCDMA changed in some way that was not foreseeable at the time your negotiations and agreements took place?
