The article finishes with: "Still, the damage has been done". I disagree.
Admittedly, Nokia's move is a bit desperate - understandable when there is an over-saturation of market with smartphones; Nokia's phones are durable enough that people use them for a long time, instead of buying a new device each year. And despite the well-deserved praise lavished (especially on TMO; ) on Nokia's phones (N8x0, N900, N9, N950, even Lumia occasionally), they are not widely-available, or cheap enough to be adopted en masse.
Without this article, I wouldn't have heard of WebM project for a long time. Nokia's suit attracts attention to WebM project, not only to Nokia itself.
Best wishes.
