With respect to the top five, I think that certainly what’s public is the litigation activity with Nokia and Samsung and the timetables associated with that litigation activity. And certainly, if you looked at statistics you’d say, okay, these are the type of things as they get to certain points in time in those litigations that they’re more likely than not to settle. I mean you can’t predict the outcome of any particular case.

And I can tell you that with respect to those issues, we have a good level of dialogue ongoing. I think that at least certainly in one instance, I think there’s a reasonable attempt by the parties to try to come up with a structure. As I’ve often mentioned, these are difficult negotiations involving very significant sums of money. So the resolutions don’t come easy. But I do see initiative on both sides to try to work something. So I think that that’s a positive thing.

Our activity, Bill, though, is not just limited to these folks that we’re in litigation against. We have discussions ongoing with others as well. I think that the litigation can incentivize not only the parties in the litigation but can incentivize parties outside the litigation, because certainly positive results for us in those litigations, we can use them as leverage in negotiations with the parties that are not in the litigations.

So, I think both Scott and I are pretty upfront with respect to 2008 being a year I think we can deliver some high-quality deals. I think everything and the investments we made last year certainly are positioning us for that. We have those at the end of the day, but I think our positioning really couldn’t be much better at this point.
