Who has said (and where) that Nokia can exercise their option to extend there 2001 license after said license has expired? Nokia doesn't want to extend, they want a lower rate deal, The quotes are all over this board. You can choose how to interpret them, but after listening and reading the quotes multiple times, my conclusion is that Nokia has the right to renew at the '01 rate even if they stop paying for their WCDMA shipments in April of this year. Hmmm, it might be time to put in a call to IR. This should be a question that they can answer definitively. an extension doesn't make Qualcomms GSM/GPRS/EDGE infringement cases go away. Without a doubt, the Broadcom and Nokia GSM/GPRS/EDGE patent cases are absolutely crucial for Qualcomm. They represent real leverage....but if they lose these, it will be a very long couple of years.
