InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

[ziploc_1]

Nok decided to arbitrate for 3 reasons:

1. It wanted to demonstrate that it was just as tough as Ericy and Mot and back up their publicly announced bid to be a leader in keeping telecom royalty rates down.
2. It was genuinely upset, and perhaps with some reason, about how Idcc handled the announcement of the "trigger" being in effect.
3. It figured it could ring some kind of concession from Idcc.

They've shown how tough they are and IMO have made themself look a little assanine in doing so. They've let out their anger which I think had more to do with disrespect for Idcc than anything else. They hardly ever in the over 3 years their agreement was in place said anything kind about Idcc or even mentioned their name. The concession they're going to get is the 20% discount for prompt payment.
