"BTW, if Qualcomm filed the patent infringement suit against Nokia in response to Nokia filing an "anti-competitive conduct" complaint with the EC, Qualcomm had the suit ready and waiting ... should a need arise. The filing dates were 10-28-2006 and 11-04-2006, respectively." If that is the case I'm buying more QCOM. If mgmt. is anticipating Nokia's moves before they're made, this game is over and QCOM rules the world.

rkral, "BTW, if Qualcomm filed the patent infringement suit against Nokia in response to Nokia filing an "anti-competitive conduct" complaint with the EC, Qualcomm had the suit ready and waiting ... should a need arise." That's the way it looked. Don't remember the dueling press releases now but Nokia and Q had talks about this IPR long before, if I remember correctly. It's like a mini-version of the Sword of Damocles hanging over the entire GSM industry, telling them to be well-behaving QCOM customers and to sign QCOM contracts or else... How and when Q was able to install the sword is the issue, I guess. It'll be interesting to see the reactions from all of the other companies later. You don't get many friends playing like that.
