InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

my3sons87 - after all is said and done - MSFT bought what we in the south call a "pig in a poke" - Nokia saved face in Finland by dumping 32,000 employees - many whom have now been fired by MSFT - Now MSFT will write down all of this "investment" and the only thing they will have is a 10 year license to the Nokia Patent Portfolio that includes the Nokia cross license from Qualcomm. MSFT is going to have to extract a lot of handset royalties to offset this Balmer blunder and even more reason for them to continue to vehemently contest paying IDCC. Nokia, btw, WILL be back in the phone business in less than 5 months and a major reason IDCC needs a court victory. Hopefully the the end of August the tea leaves will be clearer. imho.
