That's what I have been thinking too, for years. But expenses kept zooming and we get dinged by another Broadcom or what have you. Apple will probably sue us soon too while they take business from companies that do pay royalties and buy asics. Then the royalties get cut again. Nokia is down to nearly nothing. TD-SCDMA isn't going to be much of a royalty stream either. Neelie and the like want big heaps of loot. California is nearly broke and Qualcomm is in California - normally, governments confiscate money. With 3G sales zooming as they are, it seems QCOM should be going much faster than that - once the costs are covered, any extra sales are pure profit [near enough]. Mqurice
