I did a google. FTC against Qualcomm. the article goes deeply into all aspects of the case. I cannot judge if it's reasonable or not. And I do not know the laws involved. But it does not seem to be a nutcase like CO2 is pollution. But the search above found a list of articles. Some headline FTC is right and some say FTC has no case. The Cnet article covers details of both sides of the argument. top of the list is google.com Qualcomm-FTC lawsuit: Everything you need to know The antitrust case could decide how smartphones get made in the future -- and what they cost. cnet.com
