I agree with you Art. The reason BRCM made the "free" offer to government agencies is that they are now fearful of the ITC ruling being overturned by the President. Their motivation is clearly to remove the homeland security issue which bolsters the argument for the President to overturn the ruling. I view this as BRCM is now openly on the defensive. They couldn't get what they wanted from QCOM through their extortion tactics and now they feel they may lose it all via presidential veto. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of schmucks. So this begs the question.... IN the event that QCOM wins a presidential veto, what recourse does BRCM have? Can they appeal for some other sort of remedy and drag this out some more, or is this "game end" and they are "just shit out of luck"?
