L2V.

And I'm still chewing on this one:

"Key point is that whatever that painfully cheap pre-2002 2G rate was, InterDigital introduced some HIGHER 2G rates for conforming products sold from Jan 1, 2002 forward."

Could this be part of Jorma's problem?

Even some of our analysts expected a settlement with Ericy in the hundreds of millions.

And even though the basis for that amount may have been explained to Heir Ollila, he is being asked to pay a far higher amount.

Add that to his frustrations over QCOM's strangle-hold, and you have the makings for a bitter battle.
