I must be missing something.

Again I see no problem interpreting that the cumulative payments for Nokia are less than 3% to the entire industry and the payment received from Nokia to Q is ~4.5%.

Recall Nokia statements always say cumulative or aggregrate...from all players.

for example

Nokia pays Q 4.5%, IDCC 2%, Erickson 2%, TI 1%, Motorola 0.5%, Seimens nothing any more, Nortel 0.5% etc. Together its less than 3%, especially since Q had not capture lion share of market.

Individually Q sees the ~4.5% and could not give a flip what the market bears for the others.

Nokia is NOT counting income...either its not much or its not the point they are making in the PR war. For all we know they are getting 2.25% royalty income from all comers without cross licenses...perhaps their net costs are just a fraction.
