For those contemplating the Samsung delay. While a possible 2G/3G settlement is one option, the other may simply be that the Nokia settlement required extra briefing by the parties, particularly with respect to the MFN rate. That is, Nokia paid less than what the arbitration panel awarded (e.g., there is some monetary value to the 3G true up), so the Samsung panel has to consider what Nokia's actual rate was. The delay may simply be in calculating Samsung's 2G numbers using Nokia's actual rate. I am not advocating this is what is, in fact, occurring. Just one option.
