combination of the big 3 blu-ray license owner companies Sony, Panasonic and Philips with headquarters in the U.S. .

Meanwhile, also in the Blu-ray Association represents companies Sony, Panasonic and Philips identified the problem. In order to eliminate the stumbling block, they want to be until the summer of a joint venture with headquarters in the U.S. found that around the central licensing should worry about. Thus, according to the calculations of the three companies, will cost up to 40 percent.

German:

"Alles aus einer Hand

"Mittlerweile haben auch die in der Blu-ray-Association vertretenen Unternehmen Sony, Panasonic und Philips das Problem erkannt. Um den Hemmschuh zu beseitigen, wollen sie deshalb bis zum Sommer ein gemeinsames Unternehmen mit Sitz in den USA gründen, das sich um die zentrale Lizenzvergabe kümmern soll. Dadurch, so das Kalkül der drei Firmen, sollen Kosteneinsparungen von bis zu 40 Prozent erreicht werden."

"Für die Produktion eines Blu-ray-Players fallen demnach in Zukunft rund 7,45 Euro an Lizenzgebühren an, für die Herstellung einer beschreibbaren Blu-ray-Disk werden 0,09 Euro fällig."

For the production of a Blu-ray players fall in the future, therefore, approximately 7.45 euros in royalties for the production of a writable Blu-ray Disc will be EUR 0.09 due.

0.09 Euro = 0.11418 US Dollar -> a Blu-ray Disc license cost to produce

7.45 Euro = 9.45152 US Dollar -> a Blu-ray Player license cost to produce

I thought:

7.45 = 60 %

12.41 = 100%

4.96 = 40%

but math isn't my field of expertise... :)
