Ima, Info to augment Data's response to try to help. The post from Yahoo is a mix of facts, assumptions & unknowns from my perspective. The 5 links below document the competitive path I looked at several weeks ago. I am providing the links so you can draw your own conclusion.

The following are my opinions for some of the message post statements with article links you can review to form your own opinions. I am not going to respond to the posters price estimates. At this time we still do not know when or what may be sold. All discussions of patent prices are based on both speculation of what is being sold as well as value of what is being sold.

Intel and QCOM do appear headed to wireless competition from my perspective JMHO.

Intel did bid on the Nortel patents and dropped out after the 6th round and joined Google for subsequent bidding by the two remaining bidders.Nortel patent bids I do not see why Intel would not want to bid on the IDCC patents JMHO.

Intel did buy Infineon. www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/204422/why_intels_infineon_buy_is_a_smart_move.html
