You can say anything you like. Using an effective tax rate of 20% and a royalty rate of 4.5%,my ballpark, Nokia's WCDMA revenues would be roughly 20% of the total revenue figure that you used of 11.5B So you are ignoring Q's CFO when he says that royalties are fully taxed? That makes sense. Have you ever bothered to calculate the royalty number using QTL's revenues and the ASP/unit numbers that Qualcomm provides each quarter? The number is far below 4.5%. If Nokia is paying more than the average, would you mind letting me know who is paying less? Samsung? LG? Motorola? BTW, everybody is going to have their own definition, but even using your number of 20% (which is way off), I still wouldnt say that the WCDMA contribution is "very minor". Slacker
