David, I've not been a follower of IAUS. I've seen the ads in IBD and since I am an analytical communications engineer it stirred my interest. Per your suggestion I went over to the M. Fool site and read their take on IAUS. Based on what I know at this moment, I'd say IAUS is a sham. For one thing, its quite easy to give a demo without revealing anything proprietary--like this: here's two phones, here's two of our modems, here's a bit error rate test set. Watch us place a call from one phone to the other , turn on the BER set at some astronomical rate, and verify that you have a link with an acceptable error rate (the test set'll tell you the BER). You don't have to show anyone the internals of your device to do the demo so the claim that they'd be jeopardizing their patent protection is absurd. While such a demo would not satisfy everyone (and with a little thought my simple secnario could be made more convincing) it's clearly better than doing nothing. Not having been exposed to the presentation I can't talk to its technical merit or lack thereof. They should be able to explain it in a way which is comprhensible. As I posted before, there is a very sound, mature (from the '40s) body of mathematical analysis that says in essence that one's data transmission capacity is limited by the bandwidth of the channel and its signal-to-noise ratio. It's not hard to walk into a room full of people and totally confuse them with technical babble, if that's what one wants to do. There are plenty of people who think that they have invented perpetual motion or automobile engines that run 200 mpg. In fact, universities are innundated with such unsolicited crackpot "research" papers. Lyle
