O'Dog.

Thanks for flushing out the latest poop on the boys from Espoo.

IMO, things are getting a little complicated for Nokia, which is why they put the date in the agreement regarding future lawsuits by IDCC.

Consider the following:

1. QCOM is suing Nokia in San Diego.

2. QCOM is suing Nokia in the U.K.

3. Nokia's agreement with QCOM expires in April 2007.

4. QCOM started an action against Nokia with the FTC.

5. Nokia is suing IDCC in Delaware.

6. Nokia is suing IDCC in the U.K.

Unless Nokia has some assurance that IDCC will not sue for a period of time, Merritt could throw an ugly turd in Nokia's punchbowl.

My guess is, that date is sometime in early 2007.
