i, Re "Through an intellectual property exchange agreement, Texas Instruments can make CDMA chips without paying royalties."

This again is a very misleading statement. Royalty will be paid to Qualcomm by the handset manufacturer who uses the TXN CDMA/WCDMA chipset based upon the wholesale (before subsidies) price of the handset.

Because the handset providers have to pay qcom the royalty even tho TI doesn't

ihavenoidea, re "From the TI Quarterly Report: ... Through an intellectual property exchange agreement, Texas Instruments can make CDMA chips without paying royalties."

I can find no such statement in the 2Q03 quarterly report. Where did you get this from?
