Lance, I just wish one of you guys would pick up the phone and call IDC and ask them about the patents. We as IDC investors believe what we are told by management regarding the patent portfolio just as the Q investors believed their management.

Darrell has been quite helpful regarding patents just as Gregg was to the Q investors. Most of us don't even have a clue about patents and even those who do aren't sure.

We have been told that IDC has essential IPR in all of the 5 standards and although that might not be good enough for everyone it's good enough for me.

You guys also don't think to much regarding the Ericy case but those of us who have followed it do.

IDC settled with the Q years back in a patent issue so it's labled an extraction. You say bandwidth is a red herring and the whole world is looking for an answer.

Brian Kierman of Interdigital is a bright young engineer and has been with the company 15 years. Him and the other engineers that work there surely must think something of the 800 patents IDC holds or common sense tells me they would work elsewhere. With 2% un-employment in this area and every telecommunications company hiring they could easily move on.

Yes I have posted on the Q board on a very rare occasion and spoke with Gregg Powers on several occasions. The fact remains that many of us still believe we will be rewarded for our patience.

If not we will all be PIE eaters.
