lando: The new license covers 3-G, 4-GH, and 5-G. The companies agreed to terms on licensing fees for the G's. Additionally, LG will give IDCC some patents as part of the agreement.

My take is that the new license signed in some way covers the use of 3-G from 12-31-10 to the current time.

I'm guessing that the payment going forward includes a calculation for payment of back royalties (and the transfer of patents may be in part or in full payment of back royalties on 3-G.

This is what to the parties 'agreed to' when they signed the new license.

For all we know, the use of IDCC's 3-G may be minimal; LG's sales of devices using 3-G may also be minimal. WE JUST DON'T KNOW without seeing the entire terms of the new license and will never see that from either company.
