Hi, Peter - a rose by any other name is still? While I understand your point of view, I took the opportunity to indicate it is a view that is legally disputed: not wrong, disputed. As you said a year ago, Peter, that is what courts are for. Best regards, Jim

Hi, Peter - A more specific response to your question: 'Narrowband, Wideband, Broadband What is the definition of each? and by who's authority.' Message 14885764 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Emphasis added "I do not know if you are familiar with the patent dates. Our patent is earlier than the first DMT patent. Our solution for the peak to average problem is the one adopted in the IEEE802.11a (I remind everyone that Wi-LAN did not develop the standard and only had one submission to it relating to the forward error correction). Also, I am not certain that DMT had any intentions of being wideband. We gave a number of definitions of wideband in our patent. These definitions include: 1. if bandwidth occupied is wide enough that the propagation channel is frequency selective meaning different subchannels are subjected to different channel characteristics, or 2. if the subchannels are far enough apart from each other that an implementation can be made without discrete (rf hardware) carrier recovery." Message 11767636 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FWIW, I have had the subjective impression that the designation was used in the context of the time (1988-1992): ie., the use of COFDM, and corresponding (relatively narrow) bandwidth in a broadcast process as opposed to Wi-LAN's technology and corresponding (relatively wide) bandwidth in a duplex radio network process. However, that is just my own interpretation: I do not offer it as anything else. Regards, Jim
