Screw Qualcomm

All companies should just stick it to Qualcomm when they want to produce their LTE chips. Do the same exact things that Qualcomm does to them for 3G patents. Make the cost of their products so high no one will buy them and let the go out of business.

Uh, you can't screw Qualcomm here. They hold some of the patents, some of which came with their purhcase of Flarion, and don't build handsets or base stations, just chips & software. So they are in the better position, little to lose (after all, LTE replaces two forms of CDMA, their invention) and something to gain if LTE is delayed.
