No, Q's IP is not some amorphous magic which pervades the network. Q's IP, at least the SEP portion, has only to do with the radios in the network. Thus, Q can capture all its IP by royalty bearing licenses on parts (modems, power control, MIMO transceivers etc.) related to 3/4/5G radios in the network. As it is, Q's practice looks, walks and quacks like a progressive tax on devices, complete with "loopholes" such as allowed "business cooperation expense" deductions for certain licensees and caps (as on device price). As you know, nobody likes to pay taxes.
