Re: "Dan, where in Pluvia's post did it sat that TERN did not sell TDMA products?" How daft are you, anyway? Pluvia's post ruled TDMA products out when he said their "products" were "solely S-CDMA." Well, they offered for sale TDMA products too, no? Yes or no? Do you understand that word "solely," and how using it sounded good to a fellow(s) trying to paint TERN out of the DOCSIS market? RE: "From what I read it only said that TERN did not manufacter their own TDMA products." "only said," eh? LOL. I quoted it for you, and it didn't mention the manufacturing issue at all. You expanded my quote, and still the word "manufacture" or "third-party manufacturer" doesn't appear in any form, let alone in one that would mitigate the plain meaning of the words "products," "solely," & "S-CDMA" from the crowing sentence of his paragraph. In fact the context surrounding the "questioned" quote bolsters my argument. Shoot, in the report in question, every statement quoted from Terayon has been proven true save the chosen name for the next DOCSIS standard (2.0 instead of 1.2, hardly the basis for a suit). If you can show me where in what I qouoted, or even where in your extended version of it (hey, that was fair) there appears any suggestion at all that Terayons products were anything but "solely" S-CDMA, I'll give in. Unfortunately, it isn't there, so you can't. Sure, he mentioned that fact that TERN sold third party TDMA modems elsewhere, but here we find him capping an argument with a statement that is completely at odds with that fact as written; at odds with the reality that Tern indeed offered TDMA products into the marketplace (not to mention that Terayon had already worked on it's own in-house TDMA as part of their TDMA/S-CDMA chip, which then was accepted into DOCSIS as planned.)
