"Even if there is an appeal, I do not think anybody wants any further delay (other than perhaps Nok), so the arbitration may still go ahead in Jan. '05 even if an appeal is pending" Idcc could produce the vacated rulings for the arbitrators even while the appeal is pending. Nok would claim that the issue had become moot but Idcc could point to the ramifications beyond this specific arbitration.

I really hope you are wrong and their is no more delays for 2G. IDCC already lost one case, Motorola and what we as shareholders do not need is another long drawn out battle in 2G. The $300+ million currently owed from Nokia should be negotiated down to put this event behind the company. What I'd like to see is 3G money flowing in and 100% of all companies selling 3G products paying. This is how the shareholders will make serious money.

The worst case scenario would be an appeal which may cause a delay in Jan. 05 arbitration. If this event is causing some major 3G vendors not to sign (Ericsson, LG, Motorola) then we need to play it out and get this saga done with. No more courts for these heavily litagated, old 2G patents.

We need to start receiving revenues from LG's recent roll out with Hutchingson, Nokia's 3G initiatives, Motorola's phones, Samsungs 3G. This is the revenue stream that will take this company to the next level.

Bottomline, the storyline for IDCC needs to change. It should no longer be about what Nokia owes. It should be about what new phones are produced today and what fare royalty in 3G and 2G IDCC should receive going foward.
