h2145h, ZTE needs to do business in the USA, do you think that a measly billion is going to get in between making more billions? Think about the deal they just signded with Google, where do you think they are going to sell those telephones? The only place they can sell them is CHINA, do you think Google/Alphabet is going to jump into the murky waters of the pool in CHINA?, I think they would like to clean up their act and do business here.

Maybe
but ZTE wants to sell in the USA for obvious reasons and the Chinese government wants ZTE to sell in the USA for obvious reasons.
If ZTE doesn't settle or has a judgment and doesn't pay, then ZTE can kiss the USA market goodbye.
Plus, they will still have to battle V in other parts of the world. ZTE loses in Europe and India and those markets close up, then ZTE can kiss their wireless marketshare goodbye.

As a follow on, as soon as ZTE settles, the rest would be smart to license for the same terms too (Huawei).

ZTE estimates $871 million, Huawei another couple 100 million, Google 30 or 300 million.
