RE If you recall, management said arbitration was a possibility but they were confident that wouldn't be necessary.

Ahh, come on, that's pretty thin. That statement is exactly what one would expect them say during the course of this. The disclaimer takes care of the ifs.

RE: At some point during the Nokia talks it must have become obvious they had problems.

Unknown but lightly, however I don't think there was any way they could have known exactly what Nokia was thinking. And I sure from there own release they had no warning of Nokia wording.

RE Secondly, the whole reason that management can only sell during narrow windows is so management doesn't have an unfair advantage over individual buyers/sellers of public companies. Given the importance of Nokia, I don't see how management could consider that the Nokia discussions did not close their trading window.

Again regarding the flow of negations they could not have been near the end. If everything would have been on track we {imo based on the 10k 8k } would not have an expected result until late Aug at the soonest. A release perhaps as must as a 1 month, guess here, later. Now I will give you this to consider IF IDCC was the one to promote the arb and they were setting up the case while selling, then we may have something to take a hard look at. At the very least a controllership issue. And at the worst integrity issue. Didn't go that way however. Still will be interesting to see the IDCC release coming up.
