jim - My guess is that the Q to E royalty is very,very small, maybe .25% or .5% at most, and is really just a face saving device to smooth the embarrassing proposition of admitting to their customers they had no cdma IPR or expertise. I agree, and it is for this mostly for this reason that I am more sanguine about the deal. I still don't think we got a super deal, but neither am I disappointed. (Keep in mind that even when I was disappointed, I still thought QCOM would outperform ERICY.) Clark
