Qualcomm's two mutually-reinforcing monopolies: SEP thicket, baseband processor chipsets [Ed: These baseband processor chipsets are proprietary and have back doors]
In late December, the Korea Fair Trade Commission held Qualcomm in violation of antitrust laws, and after a reader pointed me to what appears to be Qualcomm's unofficial translation of the decision, I promised "further discussion here at a later stage."
