Mike, I don't think it's at the lawsuit level yet. Sounds like they are in talks. Where those talks will lead--new contract, binding arbitration, or the courthouse--has not been made public as far as I know.

Yours is the first mention of a new law suit that I've seen. Could you please provide the source of that information? I'm sorry if I've misled anyone, but the difference between a lawsuit and announcing the intention to bring suit is academic. Bux

Mike, Bux, in the M&A world, when an acquisition has been made, be it an asset purchase (as in the case of Q's infra) or stock purchase, it is very common for the buyer to assert adjustments in its favor within the agreed time frame specified in the agreement. Be it poor scheduling by the seller, the buyer's conclusion that asset valuation was inflated, or that Seller's representations have been breached, the buyer is often in the position of trying to nibble off a few more million if it can. Bux's earlier reply notwithstanding, whether it comes to a formal litigation or not, Mucho Maas' article quoting Modoff and Roberts may be at the heart of Ericy's claims (more Lars obfuscation and Edge problems, just like previously reported GPRS problems), maybe not. There is fertile ground here, of course, to fashion many a theory. Steve
