Gab.

Nokia is about to make a decision which could save it $42 million or more, or cost it up to $100/$125 million.

$42 million is the prepayment discount, if 2G/3G royalties are paid timely.

Interest on the award is still uncertain. But it could be $25 to $50 million, depending on the rate and principal amount owed. Part or all of this could be forgiven by IDCC if a 3G rate was agreed to.

If they fight the ICC decision, punitive damages could be assessed. And for the lack of a better number, I'll take a guess at 10%, or another $25 million.

I hope you're right about the Nokia BOD. The total of all of the above could be half of the ICC award, so we're not talkin' peanuts.
