Thanks for this Rauha

Very interesting. The part about compensation not just related to Fair and Reasonable and Non Discriminatory license as Nokia believe that Apple may have not got additional market share if they had to pay for the patents like everyone else.

This may have an impact on Apple beyond just the 200M to 400M that some sites have estimated as the amount of money in dispute. It will have an impact on the Carriers that want to sell the iPhone, as they are now carrying a product that may have a legal issue attached to them. Will this stop carriers taking on the iPhone just as the sole supplier status runs out with the likes of AT&T?

All this at a time when Nokia's products are now clear of litigation following their settlement with Qualcomm in the US.

Very interesting times indeed.
