In case you haven’t heard the news from all the other technology blogs out there, Nokia is suing AU Optronics, Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Samsung, Sharp, LG, Tatung, Seiko Epson, Samsung SDI, Hitachi, Toshiba and Philips, for allegedly fixing the prices of LCD screens between January 1, 1996 to December 11, 2006. That’s 10 years of over paying. Why it took them so long to sue is a more interesting question than what kind of money Nokia is looking to earn from this legal battle. [Via: WSJ]
