Steve G >>You know this for a fact?<< Give us a Break!
<<Pat>><Every chip that goes out of Motorola stamped with CG has to pay royalties to AMTX.>
<<Steve G>>You know this for a fact? That there are dollars signed from MOT to Amati on CG? If you know this, fine. If not, why state this as fact?<<
Why do you continue hound issues settled ages ago? The information is there and if it is not specific enough, then send E-Mail or call Amati ot Moto, then come back and make comments like the one quoted above.
AMATI AND MOTOROLA ANNOUNCE NEXT STEP IN ADSL/DMT LICENSING AGREEMENT
Decision Capitalizes on Amati's Leadership in ADSL/DMT Technology and Motorola's Expertise in Mixed-Signal Technology
San Jose, CA, April 29, 1996 --
(snip)
" In April 1995, the initial agreement between Amati and Motorola for the licensing of the Amati patented DMT technology was announced. Prior to that, the companies worked together to make DMT the industry standard. The Motorola ADSL IC is a highly integrated chip solution incorporating DMT and is designed to lower per line costs for high speed over copper applications. "

If your invested in Amati and didn't know about the CG/ DMT royalties, I know who I won't listen to for informitive information.
JW@KSC DMT Silicon Vendors Charging Ahead to Achieve ADSL Interoperability Goals
Amati Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: AMTX) is a pioneer and leading developer of advanced transmission equipment utilizing DMT technology for the ADSL, Very High-Speed Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL) and cable modem markets. The DMT technology was first developed by Amati, who holds the ADSL/DMT patents and has licensed the technology to companies such as Nortel and Motorola. Amati has been involved in standards-based ADSL trials using DMT longer than any other supplier in the market.<b. Amati has been supplying DMT commercial modems since early 1996 at speeds from 1.5 Mbps to 8 Mbps for services ranging from Internet access to video broadcast. These trials include services being offered by PTTs in Europe, Asia-Pacific and Australia, with such companies as Philips, Italtel, Tadiran and Samsung. In the U.S., Amati is providing ADSL/DMT equipment in GTE's current Internet access trials in the states of Washington and Texas.
DMT Technology In March 1993, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) working group T1E1.4 selected DMT technology as the standard line code for ADSL. This selection was made from a pool of competing technologies, including CAP modulation and QAM modulation. DMT's most significant advantage is its ability to dynamically adapt to the line conditions to attain the maximum throughput per channel. As a result, DMT modems can reach more customers providing greater coverage for service providers. A DMT-based transceiver has sometimes been called "The Optimized Transceiver" for this reason.
