Really? What's factually wrong with the first statement which render the resulting conclusion and subsequent questions useless? IDC has received $70million from NOK, for R&D. It's not clear whether a recurring payments will accrue. Will they collect against NOK? How will that affect their current relationship with NOK. From the 10K: In 1999, InterDigital entered into royalty bearing TDMA and CDMA patent licenses with Nokia, which are paid up generally through the project period, and provide a structure for determining royalty payments thereafter. Recurring royalties from 22 TDMA/GSM/PDC licensees went up: 1998 $1 million (5 new licensees) 1999 $9 million (3 new licensees) The last 2 quarters showed: September 1999 - $2.9 million December 1999 - $5.7 million IDC has disclosed that they expect recurring royalties to go up by 50-75% in 2000 ASSUMING NO NEW LICENSEES and that Nokia is paying about $3-4M a quarter for engineering services. IDC already booked $31.5 million as revenues in the March 1999 quarter. Again, the question: do you know how to read?
