Wat? My point was that they weren't even in the equation. Who cares what they charged if everyone went straight to the source instead?

The source being the carriers shop and scummy online shops listed on newspapers getting paid via SMS codes, which one would need to pitch before they would even consider taking their royalties.

No, the source being the developer's website. Not everything has to be a walled garden.

Qualcomm wasn't available in Europe.
