Marden, I had always assumed that Phillips would produce those ASICs that were coincidental with its business plan (ie., set-top boxes, access points, etc.). My own guess was that someone like TI would produce the ASICs that were more general implementations of Wi-LAN's technology, involving the high-speed signal processing necessary for W-OFDM etc. I'm a newcomer to this field, but from what I've read, either of these companies, and more, could be producing the ASICs. I think a decision by TI to invoke fabrication would be a significant indicator of many things we cannot be told, for now.

Fainally a WILIF. Could you tell me how the WILIF shares trade?

As to your question, yes Philips can build the ASICs that Wi-LAN needs.

Our implementation of W-OFDM listens to the presence of other signals before it transmits and will generally wait till the channel is clear. This does not work with all other signals and collisions can occur.
