I believe, maintains that they license Nok's IPR for 0.00 USD. If nobody else pays for it, then I guess the market has spoken as to the value of NOK's IPR. The vast majority of companies give almost no details regarding their licensing programs. I dont believe that either IBM or Intel reveals what they earn in royalties, should I believe that their IPR has no value? Closer to home, I dont think anybody had a clue that Motorola was sharing close to 20% of Qualcomm's CDMA royalties for years on end...until Keitel disclosed that program was going to end. Hundreds of millions of dollars were being collected by Qualcomm to be paid to Motorola and there was never even a rumor. Unfortunately, we know far less about the licensing terms in the mobile industry than we should.... Slacker
