LOL Jim. Molly is just a pain in the arse wherever he goes. Could actually be useful as a board skeptic once he figures out that reading the notes to financial statements can make all the difference in the world. Bux is something else. Your lawyer friend basically humiliated him about his weak and pathetic understanding of patents, Markman and legal strategies yet he's still here pretending that he didn't get a very public arse-whooping, asking for more punishment. Notice how Darrell is treating him with kid's gloves on the technicals? LOL. Go figure. 410 million handsets are expected to be sold this year, only 40 million of which are expected to be 2g CDMA.

BTW, check out this ATT Wireless response to classic CDMA FUD to the normally reliable Walter Mossberg of WSJ:

....Mr. Mossberg's column also suggests CDMA digital technology is more pervasive than AT&T's TDMA digital standard. Putting all the CDMA hype aside, TDMA is the most widely used digital technology in North America, and our services make TDMA digital service available at both the cellular and PCS frequencies, which the competing service Mr. Mossberg describes does not.

Jim -
1. Get my name right!

2. Which 'facts' are you backing up?
The licensing revenue?
Lets look at that.
$250 million - sounds a lot of money . The article Gus references forgot to point out that was over the life of the company! Your estimate (actually Darrel's or are you the same person?) was $300 million. My estimate was less than $200 million.

Either way The year-on-year figures are much less impressive for a company that has allegedly licensed 12% of the GSM market.
