Is there a chance of a pre-arranged "settlement" AFTER the arbitration. Such as:
If settlement is 300 mill then Nokia pays x for 3G
If settlement is 200 mill then Nokia pays x+y for 3G
If settlement is 100 mill then Nokia pays x+y+z for 3G
If settlement is 0 mill then Nokia pays x+y+z+a for 3G.
Both parties could have worked this out prior to an arbitration decision.
Why?
It would provide an insurance to both parties that limits risk in case one party loses the arbritation. Lose the arbitration- win 3G. Win arbitration - less for 3G.
This way the parties wait out the arbitration award and they know their risk no matter what the award is.
