LG Income

First Quarter 2006 Outlook
Rich Fagan, Chief Financial Officer commented, "In first quarter 2006, we expect to report revenue of $50 million to $52 million. This revenue amount includes slightly more than $11 million related to the recently announced patent license agreement with LG (for which we are recognizing revenue associated with $285 million in total expected payments on a straight-line amortization over the approximately five-year term of the agreement)

Instead of focusing on the minute to minute changes in the share price (unless you are thinking of trading today), let's analyze the news. From the above it appears that the LG money is split $220 million for future use (11 million x 4 quarters x 5 years) and 65 million for prior usage. Is anyone able to piece together an analysis of LG's sale mix and come up with what we are getting for 3G?
