Pay attention to the phrase: The patent describes the method for implementing the V-chip system in parallel with the existing closed-captioning circuits already in place in televisions. The Federal Communications Commission recently adopted this method as the technical standard for new televisions that will be required to have V-chip technology. In discussions i have had with patent attorneys, if in fact the FCC adopted this method as the technical standard, it means all have to use it. That's what licensing is all about. It doesn't mean TVL doesn't have a product they can sell, just means that will have to stop at the toll booth. Before you start throwing your slings and arrows, go check it out with patent attorneys. This is the point the Edsam keeps ignoring. tz
