Gee, Gus. If it weren't for your angry retorts to Bux, we wouldn't have realized the difference between claiming IPR on all five modes of IMT2000 and actually collecting royalties on CDMA systems with bandwidths under 10mhz.

What is unquestionable and easily verifiable is that QCOM paid $5.5 million to IDC for IS-95 usage under 10Mhz ONLY. "

Ok, if it is easily verifiable like you claim, prove it. I don't question the 10Mhz part, I question your claim that they are limited to IS95. What about Globalstar, Omnitracks, HDR, 1XRTT and 3XRTT?

Will providers ever use channels wider than 10Mhz?

I think your goal is to help us think positive of buying IDC shares. But, about the "cross license" of 1994, you need to help me find tangible advantages IDC has received as a result.

It hasn't resulted in significant royalty income. It hasn't earned them access to other Q patents which could make BCDMA more appealing to providers. They haven't visibly licensed those five patents to others (except for terms like buying non-Q asics. Who on earth would do that?)

I personally believe your desire to pick on semantics is rendered moot until it shows up on the balance sheet.

Now that IDC claims IPR on CDMA2000, tell me how they intend to add it to their royalty stream. It isn't coming from Neopoint. Qualcomm already has 3G licenses signed with Lucent, Phillips, and VLSI. Are you hoping they will join an IMT 3G patent pool?

I liked your first paragraph. Your personal attacks on Bux and Mr. Molloy help us find land mines for IDC investors in the article you respond to.
