Last, without dwelling on your QCOM reference, when they bought Flarion for nearly the market cap of IDCC, they got all those foundational Lucent patents, as well as the world's only fully mobile, commercially available, OFDMA system. The pioneering work done by Flarion, which was incubated from Lucent, together with their in-house inventions, gave Qualcomm foundational and essential IPR necessary to all mobile OFDMA systems, including LTE and WiMAX. Then they bought a pioneering MIMO inventor, named Airgo, and locked in essential MIMO patents.That's why Qualcomm has already signed Nokia and one other Tier 1 vendor to per unit royalty agreements covering LTE and WiMAX, and at least 8 stand alone OFDMA licenses have been signed.You might want to pick another issue, because I'm still waiting for IDCC's first LTE license.
