"To say SRCM's patents cover these things now is IMO ridiculous - it suggests anyone could patent the concept of any new non-existent technology by filing a patent now. The patent office does not allow such nonsense. As I have said - it requires a working invention to have been developed before they issue a patent. " Is this true? "SRCM's patents cover a boring old technology similar to that found in hotel rooms where you punch in codes for access to movies still pages etc. That aint even close to the internet my friend." What hotel technology are you thinking? If so, why didn't SRCM go after these guys since they are much more profitable than GTE and Worldgate, combined. BTW, how do you distinguish a COMPUTER NETWORK from a digital cable network?
