If Qualcomm does not send Nokia a cheque for the cross licence component of the contract, Nokia collects no royalty funds from Qualcomm and it all just appears as book keeping entries in Keitel's ledgers.

"Nokia stated that the "less than 3 per cent" excludes all royalty income collected by Nokia" I did mis-read that sentence of the press release, but nonetheless see no other plausible explanation for Qualcomm's and Nokia's conflicting statements about the "three-percent." Is either Qualcomm or Nokia lying about the rates (before 2007)? Is either Qualcomm or Nokia making a mathematical error? Is there a meaningless difference -- like a Nokia 2.99% and a Qualcomm 3.01%? Did Nokia under-report WCDMA handset sales when making their royalty payments? What's your explanation?
