Maybe they are not actively buying back stock because they are close to a new license agreement with Nokia. It would probably be viewed in an unfavorable light if Q was actively repurchasing their own shares knowing they are close to settling. It would be nice if we could all love NOK like Eric.

I don't thikn buyback is regulated like personal sales. They can buyback if they do it on regular intervals wihtout basis. If they said they would buy back 1M shares a week or 100k shares a day, then they could execut that plan and not get dinged.

It would not be a bad idea to take 5% of the monthly royalty revenue and just setup a regular buyback program which would over time completely remove them from the public market.
