BT, interesting to consider all of the angles while we wait on the wheels of justice to turn. The good news is that so far this IDCC long has not seen anything to be concerned about. In the ref post, for example, using what we know about Nokia at this point in time as a "factual" reference in speculations of the Ericsson litigation results is a bit convoluted IMO.
Take another look at the conditional language in all of the PR's regarding contract agreements with InterDigital in recent years. Wonder why words like "essentially", "currently" and "at this time" are always involved when "paid up" is mentioned? IMO it's not a good idea to assume that we know what all the contingencies might be on the 2G rates that Nokia, or anybody else, might be subject to as a result of the Ericsson litigation.
