Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Thank you very much, gentlemen, for being here this afternoon.

I'd like to start by continuing one of the major themes from today, the importance of LTE as the next generation of wireless. Today's proceedings have been very helpful. One of the things we've had confirmed is that the patents have been through the proposed arrangement and the deal will be licensed to Ericsson as opposed to being purchased outright. Was it your choice to lease as opposed to purchasing, or was that Nortel's?
