Now all of a sudden some the factions split and want to cap the rate!
The factions are not split. Nokia is pleading for a break. Please don't make us pay more than 5%
The want Ericsson and others to give away a cost advantage they have over Nokia by capping IPR at 5%. Nokia wants everyone to pay the same for the IPR while they will still have their advantage of scale in purchasing. They want Ericsson and Motorola to give away their advantage in IPR costs for poor little Nokia. "Pity me!", says Nokia, "Don't make us pay more than 5%." Nokia's 5% cap proposal is not born out of altruistic impulses. No big corporation is driven by altruism. They seek advantage for themselves. And a 5% IPR cap is advantageous for Nokia.
