Dunno. If the institutional investors were alongside the
notion of milking the patent market...they could have
started that already - without bankrupting the phone
business. (And more effectively slowed their rivals...)
Bankrupting the company to bolster M$'s intellectual
property makes sense for M$. (assuming there's some
contractual details that give them a bonus in
negotiations...but this would have issues for
shareholders...) OTOH, it makes limited sense for Nokia's
shareholders. I don't see the motivation there.
Overall, there's been such an enormous elimination of net
value that I can't see any way in which the net value of
Microkia hasn't been trashed. A lot of Nokia's future value
was in marketing and distribution in Europe and China. Elop
has pretty much eliminated that. The end results, so far,
just don't make sense by assuming competence.
I could easily be wrong.
