Political is the best way, absolutely. Trouble is, political changes are slow, and they are probably not going to change fast enough to help Q out of their problems now. I am afraid they are on their own for this huge, ongoing fight. We shall see just how good their legal system really is...they have no choice other than to spend whatever it takes on defending their IPR...it's pretty much all they have. e.k.

<The war has to be fought at the highest political levels.>The carriers Verizon, Sprint et al no doubt see the writing on the wall. There survival is QUALCOMM's survival and they have the power to push congress.Public safety and homeland security threats alone could be enough to wake congress to the looming problem of stolen communications IPR.
