This news from yesterday which was left mostly uncommented by the press could potentially mean more than the end of litigations between the two companies. Of course that alone would already be a nice achievement I think meaning that they spend money to serve customers and innovate rather than waste it in lawyer fees.

In addition I had immediately one other thought: is Ericsson back in WiMAX using Samsung's technology and is Samsung working with Ericsson in projects such as the Sprint Nextel deal now? Unsure if that is the case but the likelihood seems pretty high. Of course it would put Ericsson's decision to not develop WiMAX on their own into a different light. Like other major wireless infrastructure players they would license the technology or outsource the development to third parties. It only shows that they don't see it as a core technology but still take it serious enough so want to be able to offer it.
