Ziploc, No I'm not much good at that. I'm sure IDCC is good to go, but there is no way of knowing what Nokia thoughts are. Were going to get paid for 2g. That's a given. Taking a step back. I guess some of it will depend on what type of working relationship they both wish to have going forward, there is a lot left to look at starting with a 3G contract and who knows perhaps some chip sales worked into the mix. One thing for sure, IDCC is starting to heat up.

With reference to timing, I am taking the view that all is quiet during the summer vacation times. If one was to calculate the +180 scenario, then we would be arriving at the beginning to mid- Sept 03 time line.

I would suggest that Nokia might tie in their dues with a 3G license, thereby getting what they wanted and IDC getting their monies, albeit a 3G deal for nothing extra. Of course with the positive slant I would expect, IDC would be promoting the fact that they will be getting a future royalty stream from the Finnish coffers.

By the by, I have US visitors over and they still hate France. I myself just got back from Sud de France on vacation, and all they could do was bump my cart in the supermarket isle. I am wondering did they think I was a Yank!
Oh well, I wouldnt recommend that you vacation over in France. It is way over priced, + room taxes. Merde!
