Need to check you sources a little - how will Motorola be effected as they don't use Qualcomm chipsets?

Motorola buy small infringing chips

The ban affects the Razr 2 (due in July) which is assembled in Asia and therefore counts as a US import.

Though Motorola's tame Freescale Semiconductor makes its own chip it is too narrow for thin 3G phones, so they have to buy in. Last year Motorola agreed to use Qualcomm chips in their UTMS phones.

Too wide.

Can't ever be too narrow, can they?
