As "fair" != free/gratis, I assume this is just a price discussion between Intel/Samsung and Qualcomm. So what is interpreted as "fair" for Qualcomm, it is not for Intel/Samsung. Result: if the FRAND limitation doesn't set explicit margins, this is going to get ugly for Samsung and Intel.
- dogma1138 9y agoNo, FRAND means that the licensing terms are fixed, equal and open to all and cannot be used to gain a competitive advantage.
- faragon 9y agoThen, who is right, Qualcomm saying they're honoring the agreements, or Intel/Samsung? Both can not be right.
- tooltalk 9y agoQualcomm is most likely wrong and has been found guilty in at least three different courts. The FTC has been a bit slow in keeping up with other regulators. Qualcomm does have quite a bit of political and lobbying clout in the US -- ie, Qualcomm is a domestic company whereas most device makers are foreign.
- cryptarch 9y agoThat's what the lawsuit is to determine. I'm guessing Qualcomm will lose.
