Let us not forget that Lucent/Alcatel will also require a cdma2000 license from IDCC, as well as from Qualcomm.

2005 Annual Report and Notice of 2006 Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement".
An excerpt, Page F-76,

Intellectual Property Cases

We are defendants in various cases in which third parties claim infringement of their patents, including certain cases where infringement claims have been made against our customers in connection with products we have provided to them. During our first quarter of fiscal 2006, we settled the case of TANTIVY Communications, Inc. v. Lucent Technologies, which was pending in the U.S. district Court in Texas. As part of the settlement, we received a license for nine CDMA2000-related patents that were the subject of the lawsuit.

Let's not forget.

Nokia and Sanyo will not only need a CDMA2000 license from IDCC, but from QCOM, as well.

Maybe IDCC has a "Going out of business" rate.

Ranger, maybe a more like a taking over the business rate. Play nice and we will give you a prepayment discount. Don't and we will see what an infringement judgment does for you and your established rate.
