<An acquisition by one of Flarion’s close partners such as Motorola or Siemens seemed more likely>

Not some of Shosteck's more insightful stuff.

Pariah, enemy, killer whale, hijacker... how accurate is that wrt Flarion?

Was Flarion in fact up for bids? Or did the Board decide in concert with key staff? Or has there been a road map of objectives and alternatives for a long time?

Either there was no invitation to Motorola, Siemens, TI, Intel, Samsung because Flarion figures a tie-up with Qualcomm is the best developmental route, or the IPR, talent pool and prospects were actually seen by Flarion to be worth $600 million or less.

Could even be that Qualcomm made them an offer they couldn't refuse by showing Flarion that Qualcomm had sufficient applicable IPR to nullify Flarion's independence.

And just what has Viterbi's role been?

This is a job for Dave Mock.
