Some other big questions are: 1) Can others make wcdma work without the Q? 2) How much are Q's wcdma patents worth? 3) What rights do existing licensees have to Q's new patents on wcdma? 4) What legal battles over IPR are in the future? 5) Are we going to be rich or poor? Hopefully we will hear at least partial answers to these questions on 2/10. All this was inevitable and has been in the Q's strategy of mass licensing. Caxton

The cost of the future isn't as expensive as you think. First government must make platable for those to go inthe backyard. Thye can trench, lay and backfill cable quickly. However, like coax you can go hybird withthe twisted pair. You then migrate further. As I stated, there is a strip of land in all neighbborhoods that don't elong to the landowner. It is where all ute's bring basic services to your home. A fiber to the home can replace two basic services, TV and phone. You then expand that services to include all sort of things. The tricky part of this plan is who buries it. Traditional cable or telephony or some company that recognizes theat they can just be a pipeline, much like the nat gas ute's.
