Ok, so the math for everybody. Google spent 12.5B.
Motorola has 3B in cash.
The stock market thought motorola was worth around 6-7B incl cash (assuming they weren't just factoring in a takeover already). So google really paid around 6B for the patents, they don't have to do anything to motorola. They can sell all or parts of it, maybe muck around with some of the parts of Motorola other than cell phones. But either way the Nortel auction was 4.5B for JUST patents while google gets a mobile electronics company + patents for its 12B. |
