I don't know how other companies do it..I believe in Onev's case they would be giving Telmex a license for a specified period of time to do with Iris what they wish..If Telmex wants to bundle Iris to all their users they could or if they want to charge them individually they could or maybe a combination of both..What it does for Telmex is that it allows them to also say that it is their tech..Onev could be paid in several different ways..A lump sum only..A lump sum and monthly payments..or just monthly payments for the term of the contract..If it is the latter it would be on an agreed upon amount per month for the duration of the licensing term of the contract...veno
