One might reason that because there is still intensive negotiations
going on between TVL,Samsung & Nichimen, and that Ingram & Antec
are in progress with their business plan that:

1/ After the threat of legal action by ACRI, these companies did in
fact re-evaluate the patent issue & they still continue to negotiate
agreements with TVL, that they have discounted the legal suit as
low risk. (or why would they waste any more time? A simple phone
call would suffice.)

2/ Since none of the other competitors have announced any type of
licencing negotiations with the majors, after their products
have been displayed to the market for a period now in excess of
1 year, TVL does in fact have the product that the market most
desires.

3/ The FCC has made public statement to the fact that they will not
support a monopoly system, TVL's system becomes a very marketable
and viable system

4/ Encoding being set to start June 12, with a marketing structure
already in place makes TVL a lower risk investment each passing
day.

Blueman, great analysis. Good to see you are now calling this a highly speculative play. No, all companies with less than 100,000,000
are not all speculative plays, however any company with less than 20mil certainly is, especially when 10+ mil (which DES calls meaningless) is in some bogus intangible.

As comparing Vchip technology to Dell, well i'm failing to come up with words to describe that analogy. However, putting 2000 into such a play could be worth a risk, except that January 2000 is now worth only 800. Also, Dell never broke syndicate within 10 days, nor lost 35% within a 40 days.

I love it when you and DES provide details for your analysis.

Shwoooooooooooosh!!!

ps Mac, i always thought negotiations were done in private, not in press releases. I thought press releases were for announcing done deals, although some companies do believe in hype.

I think our friend is totally running out of rebuttals (or maybe he just cannot understand you, therefore cannot respond), and can only resort to posting links to his same old posts (how original).
I wouldn't sacrifice my dignity or self-respect for always getting in the last word, but, to each his own.

Thanks for answering his questions DE, even though it will never shut him up, at least it invalidates all his bogus claims to try and shift our attention from the winner we have here. I think you hurt his feelings by exposing the acri scam. I guess he thought he was doing a better promotional job than Allen, and may be fearing for his job now.

At least now we can more easily ignore him since you've proven his claims have NO substance, as you did with Allen.

Thanks again,

nabeel
