Eu210 is about a quarter bil, I guess without looking up the exchange rate. Is that enough to pay me and my fellow readers our dividends? Probably not, but I don't want to research that, either. Nice bottom-line number, though.

<According to market researchers, mobile phone manufacturers will have to pay Qualcomm royalties of EUR 8.5 per every phone that uses WCDMA technology. The royalty sum will account for approximately 10% of the phone's production costs.>

Approximately 10% of production cost probably amounts to ~5% of selling price. That sounds okay. What percentage have we been told the EU boys derive from their GSM toys? A lot more than that, I think.
