It's a sad day when a company is forced into a situation where they determine it is a better business decision to fork over well over a half a billion dollars, than it is to continue to pay lawers, and run the risk of lost business because of customer speculation that they may loose their service.
I always thought that in order to prove liability one had to show a true loss at least based on potential income. For NTP to have a potential loss of income they should have to show real proof of intent to implement their patent. If they could show they had a workable plan to put their patents into service in some way that would come close to rivaling what RIM have done, then I would say they deserve a financial reward. So far they have shown they are bandits sitting in the shadows waiting to pounce. Look out corporate America...who's next?
