The press release in question is dated February 01, 1999. At that time I don't think that
Interdigital Communications had
formally completely abandoned BCDMA. Nonetheless, I tend to agree with your
assessment on IDCC's value to NOK,
and for that matter, NOK could get lucky, and IDCC might come up with something
valuable. FWIW, to date, nobody
seems to think IDCC's IPR is worth very much. There have been some agreements with
IDCC made by various players,
but they have been relatively small from a cash perspective, and IDCC just can't even
convince any analysts that they
have any significant revenue streams from their IPR, much less convincing any wireless
players (or vice-versa). For the
newbies out there, be very wary of posts from corpgold, and Bill Daglish. They tend to be
a cute little tag-team that try to
lend legitimacy for their statements. There are some other rather odd characters amongst
the IDCC longs (of course, I
suspect that some could say that there are some odd characters amongst the QCOM
longs), but be careful when you are
researching IDCC (if you take the time to do so) that you verify the sources, rather than
simply accepting as truth the
comments made by some unknown internet poster (such as myself for that matter, this
goes for any due diligence).
Good luck
As always, just MHO.
