Rumor says:
- RIM refused to sign the standard NDA document;
- RIM wanted to bid CDMA+LTE+UndisclosedAsset as a bundle for 1.1B instead of bidding for the court-approved CDMA+LTE bundle.
As a result, RIM was not even admitted as a bidder, so the 1.1B was actually not a qualified bid on the table.
Jim B is crying foul, but RIM may had its own mis-steps along the way. Right now, nobody knows whether RIM can manage to get back to the bidding table. It maybe possible with the help of CA gov.
