I tend to agree with you here. It always seems that we get less than we expect so I'm not concerned if this happens now. I am of the opinion that prior revenues (money owed) is significantly less relevant then future revenues(percentage of sales going foward).

If the NOKIA arbitration is the big stumbling block to all 3G licenses and 2G settlements then get creative over the money owed to make sure future revenues are solid. How about a $58 million dollar credit for the engineering contract money NOKIA spent with IDCC?

WIN - WIN deals are good for all parties involved. If NOKIA is going to be a major source of revenue for years to come then we need to find out what it will take to get them to come on board.

The way I look at it is, reward or give preference to companies that have paid money (NOK, ERIC, NEC, SHARP) and save the hard line approach to companies that just infringe without paying a dime, MOT and LG.
