I agree. Seeing this article is confirmation that IDCC is right in the middle of the biggest wave in technology for the next 25 years+ - wireless.
Any large player will be silly to not at least bid on IDCC. In the end, the highest bidder will establish the market price for IDCC. The competitive bidders, by not bidding higher will agree, that the winner has the rights to IDCC and it IP for that price. At what price will the competitors be willing to let IDCC go to some other company? What will that price be?
