Google does not even make that. They have someone else make it.
Nexus One was HTC.
Nexus S was Samsung.
The next Nexus the rumor mil is either Motorola or LG.
Sony and Ericsson were listed as different entities...

What's funny about that? They are different entities after all...
It would have made no sense at all for the separate, joint mobile phone company to take their place here.
Yes... the next iPhone Skin Job........ the Nexus 6

Great! Their parent companies put fingers in the pie instead of the joint venture entity that makes all their phones... next.
So each parent company hedges in case they decide to split later... that's confidence for ya... anyway.

I don't understand how does that company declare bankruptcy? Don't companies use their patents -> give them some steady income? Although "bankruptcy" is subjective, they just made 4,5billions, I don't think they're bankrupt any more![]()

People seem to be forgetting there was a lot more to this than phone patents. Nortel had a lot of high end networking patents, Ericcsson's core business, as well as patents in software and networking generally. The reason that they entered as parent companies is they wanted different things.
It's worth noting these patents were more about networking products.
99% of comments reveal people aren't or have yet to have a long history working in the heavy IT industry. Nortel was one of the big boys until mismanagement took over.
Yes... Networking, exchanges, comms equipment, infrastructure design.Wirelessly posted (Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_3_3 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.17.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2 Mobile/8J2 Safari/6533.18.5)

So this "consortium" exists as an agreement between major players in the telecom industry to limit the use of these technologies to its members, thereby locking out new competitors? In my great-granddaddy's day they called that a "trust", and passed laws against it.
The companies that are part of the winning bid will presumably provide access to these patents to those companies.
