Marchma:

" have heard that Nokia had essentially agreed to the rate settlement and had sent IDCC draft papers to that affect. Allegedly, there was a problem with one aspect of the draft that IDCC did not agree with and sent it back to Nokia for revision. Nokia’s top leadership then met with Samsung’s top leader and suddenly had an about change of face. All of a sudden in apparent collusion with Samsung, Nokia decided to fight the contract with everything that they could muster. Nokia sent back the draft with so many changes and alterations from the original draft that IDCC could not possibly accept it, and then all hell broke loose"

If what you have heard is true, then this sequence of events would certainly be introduced during arbitration discussions. The question would have to be asked of Nok,"why did you do such a sudden about face?' The answer would be interesting.
