Ericy and SNE do not have a 3G license agreement with IDCC in place. So either sign up or take them out in the back alley.

Have President Bush declare that Nokia, Ericsson, Samsung, LG as the axis of evil and then send in the troop.

What does that have to do with the manner in which a 3G infringment dispute is settled? i.e., arbitration vs. lawsuit.

That 3G clause in Ericy 2G contract gives certainty to whom-it-may-concern that the 2G obligations contract has zero implications that later can be used to show a 3G obligation. It's really pseudo-certainty because it does not preclude a separate understanding, like an MOU.
Consider that any pre-supposition of "negotiation, mediation or arb" for 3G implies that a royalty is due, as opposed to none at all. Subject clause makes it clear and allows Ericy to approach 3G matters afresh, without confusion with their 2G agreements.
It also helps insulate the 2G rates contract from any claim that the 2G numbers include some factor from a future 3G contract [as Nokia could be expected to argue, if only to delay and confuse and frustrate; give cause for discovery proceedings].

OT Ranger you said , "Boy, this is getting tougher by the minute"

Got me going nuts too. I went to the cardiologist the other day and while I was on the interstate my cell phone rang. Only my wife and my son have the number so I answered.

My wife said dad be careful I just heard on the TV there's a car going the wrong way on the interstate you take.

I said hell there's hundreds of them and hung up.

Next thing I know I see a cop with his light on me so I pulled over. He said I been trying to pull you over for the last 3 miles. He said since there was no accidents and I'm getting off duty in 30 minutes if you give me an excuse that I never heard before I will give you a pass.

I looked at him and said officer 30 years ago my first wife ran away with a cop and I thought you were bringing her back.

LOL I hope that tickled a few like it did me.
