I don't know what the actual figure is, but I would point out that
there are a lot of fingers in the pie.  As I understand it, iBiquity
is acting as agent to collect royalties for literally dozens of other
IP holders who have patents on various parts of the system.  (I'd like
to know how much Fraunhofer gets for the AAC decoder, for example.)
