Greenmail is blackmail done legally. I am not going to "Walk the Dog" back on this subject. Read Gregg Powers, and, if you have more questions on it, ask them on the Qualcomm, S&P 500 thread. Engineer, Su, and several others there can clear up your questions better than I.

My understanding is that Irwin Jacobs had something to do with inventing TDMA as well as CDMA, when he was with Linkabit, a company he founded. He sold the company (and the patents that went with it)to M/A COM, which was then sold to IDC, which was where IDC got them. QCOM paid IDC a one time payment for the use of those patents. IDC's IPR has been adapted by no carriers to date.
