Ranger: this kind of covert manipulation I thought only existed in the movies.

For a long time there has been something lurking in the background with this ole stock called IDCC.

IDCC may not be a hit on WS, but there are some big heavy hitters lurking outside in the yard, watching and waiting.

I believe that this crap with Corp_buyer is just the tip of the iceberg. The bigger swingers wouldn't be this stupid.

Question..Since Nokia is a paying licensee of Qualcomm..why do they keep spending money and time dwelling over how much they are overpaying?TIA

Joint research by leading industry publications 3G Mobile and Mobile Handset Analyst – published by Informa Telecoms and Media – found the cost of so-called ‘essential’ IPRs could skyrocket if leading vendors do not agree to the single-digit cap. The issue is compounded by Nokia-backed research that states Qualcomm – which has already agreed a royalty rate of between 4.65 and 6 percent with some handset vendors – does not hold as many essential IPRs as it claims to.
