These are hardly typical metrics for royalty measurement, but if true, the Q got a deal. No wonder the Koreans were upset about the costs of doing business with Q. It would take a little of the sting out of the Samsung announcement. Then there was this passage: <However, the advanced CDMA chips will only be used for Samsung mobile phones due to an earlier agreement between Korean handset makers and Qualcomm,which owns the original CDMA technology. Samsung said it will negotiate with Qualcomm over the sales of its chips to other handset manufacturers and royalty issues. > This appears to mean that Samsung may not sell any chips it develops to third party handset manuf', which is consistent with other information on this thread, in the case of some licenses. For those technologically literate: does the reference to the MSM and BBN chips equate to Q' ASIC? Or are these subsets of Q's ASIC minus some of the software and other applications? Regards.
