Like I said, I figure that the board would go ballistic if Q accepted the compromises that I would find acceptable.

qcom only got "amenable" with their $100M offer after they had been handed their head by BRCM. I don't look for qcom to negotiate with themselves. Furthermore, their stock is doing fine. the more it creeps up to the high 40's the less pressure on qcom management to settle. Again, 6% sounds pretty reasonable. I'm not worried about Armageddon. Nok is much more pragmatic than qcom. They would just continue using qcom IP without paying for it and wait for it to get settled 10 years from now. There will always be some amenable person on the qcom team that will be willing to forgive interest.
B/t/w/ if your suggesting that my compromise is reflective of "go(ing)ballsitic" you are only kidding a kidder.<g> i.
