Maurice, first of all my apologies for attacking the messenger rather than the message. Not right !! (unless it's Masa--and you are no Masa) (ggg) Now to the issues. [though I know you say some were planned failures] Never said that. What I said was that some of the ventures (handset division and infrastructure division) were only intended to seed the market. They were far from planned failures. They were very successful for the purpose they were meant, but they were a drain on resources and no longer necessary once the outside manufacturing base was on line. So, do you know what the top royalty rate is? If so, what is it? No, of course I do not know what the top rate is and neither does anybody else except for the signees. The rates that have been tossed about and widely accepted as some kind of truth are extrapolated from calculations based on various assumptions. However, the 4%-5% sound very credible to me. Rich
