Nokia brought it for $9 billion in today's dollars. $6 billion loss if sold for only $3 billion. Nokia needs the money to by Alcatel-Lucent!

Uber has the money from their public offering to do it in cash. Not many company can fork out $3 billion in cash; other the Apple but they already have Apple Map.
