Sony is not known for licencing their patents at a low per device cost.
The average consumer cannot afford to buy a Sony product or a product incorporating a Sony patent.
I am disappointed Sony wants/needs to collect high patent licencing fees on their technology designs.
Don't mention Apple, the company that asks for premium on other's technology.
