Apparently you are unaware that one Tier 1 licensee has already signed an OFDM/OFDMA license extension, at the same "low single digit" royalty rate as before, and others are in discussion.(Without meaningful quantities of commercial 4G product having been shipped, there was/is no compelling reason for having already signed.) Also, several new OFDM/OFDMA licenses have been executed, and Soma has extended their license to encompass those technologies - just in time to win a huge WiMAX contract in India. Incidentally, your assertion that the threat of injunctive relief isn't available to Qualcomm has yet to be judicially determined, and is inconsistent with Nokia's previous position when it was plaintiff against others. Can you cite to legal authority that has construed or defined FRAND as Nokia (again inconsistently) now suggests, and you have adopted by reference? Does FRAND demand only one solution, or is it like pornography, where the threshhold is defined on a case by case basis, with a range of acceptable compromises being sanctioned? Again, citations of authority, please?
