maybe they paid Sony $20 mln and use the deal to pursue others.
the bottom line is refuse to pay beyond their cost.
maybe it's late, but looking from a different angle, if you have
some good technology, provide it for free to capture the market,
then what criteria you'll use to decide the right time to change
the rule of game and make profit?
cheers,
