L2V: Friom Atomic Bob's Eneerg1 mess. #09706 in part


Read the related story links from The Register, which provides a good overview of big picture in recent IPR licensing events... NOK is clearly a benefactor, by virtue of MFL with Interdigital- so may be receiving support from some competitors and operators to cap/fix ipr royalty prices paid both Q & I, with EU support?... (missing is the impact of LG). Keep in mind this series addresses cumulative impacts & implies cross-licensing.. both non-manufacturers Q and Interdig aren't players...suggesting an element of collusion using the EU involving European operators offering phone subsidies to pressure NOK and Ericy to not cave into Interdigital & pressure Q to lower their ipr rates.... also they collectively fear the Japanese and Korean manufacturers already licensed with both Q & I can be warded off with the help of EU governing etsi????
