Loop, re the 6000 shares "acquired" by Shaner and Zabarsky, yep they are grants...I was trying to softshoe around that by using words like compensation and restricted. The question that the answer of which the I can't remember is: Are the 6000 for one year or the three year term? Anyway, it really doesn't matter as that deal is done and as I told Arthritis that seems to be the going rate...at least in KoP. They do seem to be qualified, and hopefully interested in making themselves and the rest of us a whole lot of money.
As far as the NOK/SAM meeting...I was just throwing out some links to articles about the meeting between 'Ollijah' and 'Koon-hey'. I agree the meeting had little to do with the IDCC arbitration proceedings as that was already determined by Nokia's position, but I don't doubt that during lunch in the executive dining room the multi-million dollar subject came up somewhere between the Finlandia Vodka and the Sushi or the Smoked Kippers and Cigars.
Ronnie seems to think that Samsung somehow created the impetus for Nokia's supposed change of heart and tactics with IDCC. Not sure where he's getting this idea...anything's possible I guess. Did Samsung maybe offer NOK some sort of significant market concession or terms in their technology collaboration in return for a more agressive stance from NOK toward IDCC?
