Note that FRAND is fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory. That last part is an explicit promise to treat all users the same, irrespective of their profit margins or anything else.

I'm not arguing that. I'm just arguing that the "no third option" is overly simplistic.

Samsung can decide to change their licensing terms if they deem them no longer "fair", as you note, as long as it is done in a non-discriminatory fashion.

Edit: Oh well. That's what playing devil's advocate gets me :)
