<<Net royalties is the key>>

Let's think about this. Would Q management go out and make a deal with TXN (or anybody else) that would negate the advantage created by their ingenious Spinco maneuver? Clearly not. Any cross licensing would only be done with Spinco's portfolio, NOT Q-classic's. The deal with TXN may have involved some reduced licensing fees in exchange for some TXN IPR, but Q-classic's royalty bearing IPR remains intact. Spinco may have to pay some offsetting royalties to TXN if they decide to make some DSPs using TXN IPR, but I would doubt it. What we are seeing here is the first Spinco deal with GSMers.

Is there a fig leaf for Nokia? You betcha.
