Jimlur re best deal from Nokia you said:

...."IMO like Loop said the best deal for IDCC and us investors is to have Nokia agree to a 3-G agreement where they can no longer litigate our patents. They must also drop litigations in Delaware and the UK."

I would add that the "best deal" for IDCC should also include a firm 3G rate agreement, and a contract extension for at least another five years on 3G beyond 2006. It would be a little icing on the cake to get a few years of contract extension on 2G/2.5G as well. The Street loves to see future revenue streams. As things now stand, both the 2G and 3G parts of the initial license agreement with Nokia are due to expire at the end of 2006.
