A comment on Commission fines Qualcomm €997 million for abuse of dominant market position. Parent comment
If they can apply it yearly, they can fine 2.2 billion per year, which is over a third of Qualcomm's 5.3 billion per year profit.
Sure it's a simple napkin calculation, but as long as the napkin calculation comes out to "not worth it" that's fine.
