LML, I agree with you. Q is loved by the carriers and hated by the manufacturers that have to pay the tax to use the technology. Q has nothing to lose (from a marketing standpoint) by playing hardball. I would guess that many of the manufacturer are rooting for Q to kick Nok's butt, because they are locked intor contracts for the nex many years and they don't want Nok to have anymore of a competitive edge. Q will do what they have to do and the majority of the licensees know this. Nok has much more to lose than Q.
