Jim,

I don't understand how Q could expect to renegotiate with NOK to pay more when NOK has the option to renew under the old terms. Any guesses how this could be accomplished?

-thinkclear

So I take it that you feel there is a possibility that there could be some substance to NOK’s Simonsons’ statement ... "We won't pay more,"... inferring that the Q’s negotiating position for the renewal reflects a royalty rate increase to bring NOK up to the FRANDly rate (world standard) that most handset mfgs enjoy??

And, perhaps, the Q’s management would be derelict to their long term handset partners (and investors) if they didn’t attempt to level the playing field ??
