Does anyone here have any creative ideas as to what(when & why)will cause this stalemate(or stallmate) we are in,to be broken?We are about to enter 2007 and frustration is definitely setting in re:new 3g licenses-particularly the large oems.What is going to be the watershed event to break this logjam and when can we expect it? The endless claims and counter claims within the industry seems to be a stall tactic rather then any substantial event that will define progress going forward.IDCC seems to be caught between a rock and hard place because no major oem wants to be the one to step out and recognize the rightful place we should have in 3g technology.It's as if everone knows a major shoe is going to drop soon that will define 3g licensing, but until it does, no one is in any hurry to make a move.Will we have to wait for qcom and nok to settle their differences or will one or the other make a move concerning IDCC to either define FRAND(nok license)or strengthen their ipr demands(qcom buying IDCC)?The worst case scenario,in my opinion,is having to wait beyond April for this thing to play out between qcom/nok.The time element is becoming crucial to valuing this stock and litigating will only lenghthen the problem.I'm sure all of us thought we would be further ahead at this juncture,and the way I read this is, we are at a sh*t or get off the pot time.If you can't beat em join em!
