IMO,

I am pleased that they did not go through with the spin-off:

a) As a separate company, I think Spinco could (would most likely) have been bought out. If the the buyer was someone like Intel (for example); we would not be able to invest in a pure CDMA chip company anyway.

b) IMO, the companies together (Classic and Spinco) can generate more IPRs than as independent entities. If Nokia or someone else has IPRs in IxEV-DV, they can re-visit the spinoff; hopefully with an even stronger set of IPRs for each company.

my two cents.
