Mandatory certification by a third party is different from that, and judging by the numbers in that article amount to less than a dollar per device (probably far less for flagship devices that sell millions of units?).<p>&gt; You may be right that most OEMs don&#x27;t agree to it. But the larger ones that are on the western markets definitely do.<p>No OEM agreed to licensing fees, they don&#x27;t exist (as far as is publicly known).
