It's a hard area for the government to navigate because IP is designed to confer monopoly power. As long as Qualcomm walks a careful line on licensing costs/behaviour, they probably think the risk of being the target of antitrust sanctions is limited or manageable.

Consumers will likely pay incrementally higher prices though.

You are the government. How are you planning to step up?

I will continue to vote, go to every protest I can that I think is for the right cause, and yell desperately on the internet.

If there’s more I can be doing as a good little citizen let me know. The power of the people feels like it’s at an all time low, government is overrun with money, corruption and authoritarians
