Boeing! Take another look.
So where is Boeing in all of this.?
"I have only had the best intentions for the shareholders/investors and most of you know that"
You kidding me right? Explain to us why you and Drago killed the Rivado deal? where are the letters you and the Daics made up and sent out to fire Turrini and Valente ? why was it done without EVER HAVING A BOD MEETING . You personally told me that you sent those letters out but they were returned back to you due to incorrect address. So how come you will not furnish copies of those letters to the BOD? Why don't you tell everybody here about the letters that your hiding on behalf of Drago and Cathy? If you really want to do some good then send the letters to Dave. These are just starters. You really don't want to get me going. I know at least 50 bad things about you and I can back them up with proof but as you said when the time is right.
So if we go back to the 151st court who besides Drago has much to loose?
Lol, it's not gonna work, you better pray that we don't get there.
"If they re-open the original complaint they are history". I agree. I know how that 2008 agreement came about. There is no way it should have happened. my opinion, they pulled a fast one on brainless Carlos and then we fell for their trickery. They knew right up until the week before trial that the were going to loose- so in my opinion they pulled a fast one knowing that Carlos would take the bate. Everybody panicked after that. I said it then that we should have gone to trial. Dave was very vocal about it too. I just wish we had someone like Dave on the board back in those days.
So many opportunities were squandered back then because of that idiot Carlos.
The Redmond company.
Redmond Tests Calypso Fixed-Mobile Convergence
Publication Date: 20 March 2006
By Rhonda Ascierto
A large software company in Redmond, Washington is trialing promising new fixed-mobile convergence technology from a tiny public US company, ComputerWire has learned.
Calypso Wireless Inc has developed a potentially breakthrough technology that enables seamless voice, video and data connectivity between different devices, including desktop VoIP phones and mobile handsets.
“The goal is to use your mobile handset as a remote control of sorts for all your devices, like your PDA, notebook and desktop,” said Akshay Sharma, chief technical officer of Miami Lakes, Florida-based Calypso.
Calypso’s patented Automatic Switching of Network Access Points, or ASNAP, server and client package provides seamless roaming between GSM-based cellular networks and 802-11-based WiFi networks.
While Calypso is not alone in developing seamless roaming, the company claims the most comprehensive and cheapest package, and last year won Frost & Sullivan’s WiFi Technology of the Year Award.
ASNAP is designed to integrate all wireless communication components without the big investment layout and costs.
The technology also boasts an intrinsic authentication system that permits roaming only between service providers with an existing agreement. And Calypso has developed a system for revenue settlements between s numerous carriers while the end user would receive just one bill.
But getting carriers on board will be a stumbling block, Sharma admits.
That’s a large part of why the first applications of ASNAP will likely be on enterprise campuses, Sharma said.
Since Calypso launched its ASNAP client software and server last month, the 50-person company has received “a ton” of enquiries from interested companies, Sharma said. Notably, a large software company in Redmond -- the Washington city that’s home to Microsoft Corp.
While Sharma was bound not to name names, he said “Redmond” was trialing a working prototype WiFi mobile phone with Calypso’s ASNAP client. The device is the result of Calypso’s 18% ownership stake in handset manufacturer RV Technology Ltd.
Last November, the phone’s chipmaker Intel Corp showed off the device at the 3G World Congress in Hong Kong. Last week, the device also was on show at Intel’s booth at the VON show in San Jose, California.
Now “Redmond” is trialing the device for its own on-campus use, as well as to explore potential offshoot applications, Sharma said. A trial of this type would take at least three months, he reckoned.
Enterprises could pre-set employees’ mobile phones or PDAs to automatically switch to either the lowest-cost or best available quality network during a call. On an enterprise campus, that likely would be between a cellular network and proprietary WiFi hotspots on site.
The Calypso server determines the mean opinion score of the call’s quality or expense, based on GPS coordinates when available or the location of a WiFi hotspot. This means enterprises could cut down on workers’ cell phone minutes, many of which are clocked on large company campuses.
No carrier deals with Calypso’s RV Tech phone have been announced, but Calypso has trial deployments with about half a dozen carriers in Europe, Asia and Latin America, he said.
For the device to actually be deployed, Calypso would need regulatory approval. In the US, it takes on average between six to nine months to get the regulatory green flag, Sharma said, but it varies from country to country.
Back in 2003, Calypso inked a $500m deal with China Telecom to roll out a similar device, from a now-defunct handset maker, this year. Calypso hopes to revise the deal now that it has the RV Tech device, Sharma said. Then again, China Telecom may end up going with one the country’s local dual-mode phone makers instead, he added.
So far, Calypso has successfully tested its client on about 15 different dual-mode Windows phones.
Because ASNAP runs on standard Windows mobile OS, the software could be ported on any Windows-based dual mode or quad-band device.
Calypso is currently in talks with UTStarcom Inc of Alameda, California to license ASNAP on one of its dual-mode, WiFI phones. Calypso also is negotiating with other OEMs that Sharma declined to name. But to date no deals have been inked.
This in large part is due to potential legal issues surrounding ASNAP technology, Sharma said. Calypso owns a patent for its cellular-handoff technology, and has another patent pending for satellite-handoff.
But other emerging wireless technologies, notably UMA, or unlicensed mobile access, and IMS, or IP multimedia subsystem, also promise seamless roaming – the basis of Calypso’s patent, Sharma said.
“Large carriers would rather out company just go away so they can just launch their UMA or IMS solutions without potential legal burden,” he said. “Our stance is, we’d rather partner with them than fight them legally.”
Of course, IMS and UMA trials already are underway. T-Mobile USA Inc, for example, is trialing GMS-over-WiFi roaming using a wireless UMA gateway from Kineto Wireless, Sharma points out.
Sharma’s ex-colleagues from his previous employer Siemens have actually asked why Calypso hasn’t “gone after Kineto on this market trial,” he said. “We are engaged to see how we can partner first, but then if we feel like our rights are violated, we will have to enforce them.”
While there have been no lawsuits filed by Calypso, Sharma said some large carriers are wary of licensing the company’s technology because it is patented and, therefore, presents a potential legal challenge, Sharma said. This is especially true in light of BlackBerry maker Research in Motion Ltd’s recent $612m settlement with patent house NTP Inc, he said.
“We’re the only company with an end-to-end seamless roaming solution from handset to server that is also backed by a patent,” Sharma said.
Of course, carriers also may not be too eager to use seamless roaming that will direct calls away from their own cellular networks, which they have invested in heavily, to WiFi networks, Sharma said.
“It’s not in Cingular or Verizon or Sprint’s best interest that you go with WiFi, which is next to free or free and bypasses their 3G spectrum and equipment,” he said.
Calypso’s ASNAP server costs about $10,000, while the stand-alone client software has a one-off cost of $40 per phone. The company’s RV Tech-Intel WiFi phone, the C1250i, retails for about $400.
Frost Sullivan award
Microsoft knows about Calypso. we have had test trials with them before when Akshay Sharma was the CTO of Calypso. From what i heard back then it was an excellent trial.
You do know the list is probably over a hundred companies?
Now that I come to think about it, this was all taking place right before the scam 2009 agreement. Get us into default first, get the scam 2009 agreement sign and then go get that licensing agreement sign. Nice try Drago.
Yep, Drago and Cathy wanted no part of it because that would have meant letting Turrini and Valente back in. So they swept it under the rug and Richard Patten went along with it. Valente put that deal together and Turrini presented it to them for signing. It sat there for over a month and they would not sign it. Rivada got sick of waiting said screw them and went elsewhere. That was gonna be a huge deal for Calypso, but had they signed it Drago would have lost control of the company that he was trying so desperately to take over.
They way I figured it he owes us at least $50 million for killing the deal. And there is no telling what kind of doors Calypso would have open after that.
Oh well, you missed that one...
The only settlement I would consider is for Drago to pay the company at least $5O million in damages, return all shares and that's still getting off easy.
Remember Rivada? That was money in the bank. Here is a clue. http://www.eweek.com/c/a/VOIP-and-Telephony/Homeland-Security-Picks-Agito-Rivada-355861/

Old post from the past. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=9538008
It's Calypso Wireless.us. Calypso Wireless Inc. is a bogus website.
So maybe we should get the facts straight. T- Mobile and Turrini had meetings arranged long before a lawsuit was filed against T- Mobile. It was Drago, Cathy, and RP that blocked it on two occasions. So even back then T- Mobile wanted to talk with Calypso.
From The September 2009 8k
"Calypso attempted to negotiate a settlement with T-Mobile in order to quickly attain the cash necessary to make payments. And again you breached our agreement and refused to "allow" such because you insisted on "suing them first".
"Sounds, to me at least, like Daic will be apart of CLYW from here out" No he will not, this is between Calypso and T- Mobile. Daic and his attorneys has nothing to do with this.
Again here you are trying to mislead shareholders. Most shareholders who has been in clyw from those days knows the real story on what Carlos and his so call BOD tried to do to Turrini just like Drago and Cathy did.
Now why don't you tell us the real story on who was trying to steal the voice to text patent to form a new company?
You just wait until the State court friend, everything will come to light.
See you are not telling the truth. Back then at the time Carlos had fired Turrini because Turrini refused to do his dirty work so Turrini was unemployed then. Baxter felt sorry for Turrini and put his name as CEO on his company's name. Turrini had no idea that Baxter did that. It was right after the Carlos buy out that I was doing a search one day and I came across Turrini's name there when I called him to let him know of it. Turrini called Baxter right away to have him removed his name. Richard and many people knew about this at the time was no big deal because Turrini was unemployed and Baxter use to do stuff like that. He even did the same thing to Akshay from what I heard.
That is not how it went down. You are missing a piece of vital information. If you dig into my past posts you may find it, are i may post it on the yahoo board later, but not on this board that continues to delite my posts.
Richard Pattin is a fool. He will go down in history as the one that took the raps for the Dalton gang and the one that sold out the shareholders to Drago. People told him about this and even showed him facts. Its so amazing how this guy can't put two and two together yet and figure it out that they have been using him as a puppet all these times . So RP, I'm going to bet you a penny that you are going to take the raps for the Dalton gang. Remember you were the president. You have been abused by the very people who you helped stole from investors and turned your freaking back from the ones that laid trust at your door. Now you wonder why we are so pissed.
As to Finra nobody on this board knows whats going on.
LET ME DO THAT AGAIN, ALL BS.
YEP, ALL BP.
His post to me is a waste of time reading. He is to me one of those naked short sellers sitting here for years hoping for the company to go under. I would just put him on ignore.
So? I have been posting about your corruption from almost 2 years ago. I have been posting about how you became a puppet for Drago and Kathy daic almost 2 years ago. For almost 2 years now I have been posting how you have betrayed and sold out the shareholders that put their deep trust in you, how you were scamming the company. It turned out that I was more than right. I was so right that Rohan had to call Finra to action which open up a whole new can of worms about you. YOU, DRAGO, AND THE JOHN DALTON BOYS UNDERSTAND THIS? ONE DAY SOON THE SHAREHOLDERS WILL HEAR AND SEE THE FACTS AND EVIDENCE AGAINST ALL OF YOU THIEVES.
Let me remind you of a paragraph from the 8k.
"The company also noted and recorded at least 25 past actions that could be deemed breaches of fiduciary duty and/or being actions contrary to the Company's Code of Ethics by Mr. Pattin. The Company will continue to investigate the role of Mr. Pattin in the past management of the Company and may take action to recover damages to the Company resulting therefrom against Mr. Pattin and any others who were involved if warranted. However, at this time and solely for the purposes of his continued Directorship, these issues are moot because of the deemed resignation".
Come on Richard, Turrini and you voted to have Dave on the BOD. AND YOU ONLY DID SO AFTER YOU SIGNED AWAY THE COMPANY TO DARGO. AND I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT YOU DID NOT WANT TO HAVE DAVE ON THE BOD BEFORE THEN.KEEP POSTING LIES BUD YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE DEEP DODO YOU ARE IN.
"The original attorney was getting paid when a settlement occurred" lol, you guys are a disgrace. Somebody may want to send this post to Miles. You guys were so busy scamming the shareholders in the Carlos buyout you can't even remember what occurred then. SHAMEFUL..
It was a child that made that post not a grownup. He is a bad little boy.
Give it up you can't win against Dave. What you are hoping for is not going to happen. I'll suggest that you put your celebration on hold and get the Zantacs ready.
AP: Ponzi collapses nearly quadrupled in '09
As recession scared off new investors, Ponzi collapses nearly quadrupled in '09, AP finds
By Curt Anderson, AP Legal Affairs Writer , On Monday December 28, 2009, 4:44 pm
MIAMI (AP) -- It was a rough year for Ponzi schemes. In 2009, the recession unraveled nearly four times as many of the investment scams as fell apart in 2008, with "Ponzi" becoming a buzzword again thanks to the collapse of Bernard Madoff's $50 billion plot.
Tens of thousands of investors, some of them losing their life's savings, watched more than $16.5 billion disappear like smoke in 2009, according to an Associated Press analysis of scams in all 50 states.
While the dollar figure was lower than in 2008, that's only because Madoff -- who pleaded guilty earlier this year and is serving a 150-year prison sentence -- was arrested in December 2008 and didn't count toward this year's total.
In all, more than 150 Ponzi schemes collapsed in 2009, compared to about 40 in 2008, according to the AP's examination of criminal cases at all U.S. attorneys' offices and the FBI, as well as criminal and civil actions taken by state prosecutors and regulators at both the federal and state levels.
The 2009 scams ranged in size from a few hundred thousand dollars to the $7 billion bogus international banking empire authorities say jailed financier Allen Stanford orchestrated, as well as the $1.2 billion scheme they say was operated by disbarred Florida lawyer Scott Rothstein. Both have pleaded not guilty.
While enforcement efforts have ramped up -- in large part because of the discovery of Madoff's fraud, estimated at $21 billion to $50 billion -- the main reason so many Ponzi schemes have come to light is clear.
"The financial meltdown has resulted in the exposure of numerous fraudulent schemes that otherwise might have gone undetected for a longer period of time," said Lanny Breuer, assistant attorney general for the U.S. Justice Department's criminal division.
A Ponzi scheme depends on a constant infusion of new investors to pay older ones and furnish the cash for the scammers' lavish lifestyles. This year, when the pool of people willing to become new investors shrank and existing investors clamored to withdraw money, scams collapsed across the country.
"Some portion of the investors in the Ponzi scheme always get the short end of the stick and do not get paid," said Elizabeth Nowicki, a former Securities and Exchange Commission attorney who now teaches law at Boston University.
Even those who say they did their homework before investing ended up losing everything.
A retired Air Force sergeant, Tom Annis searched the Internet for red flags like complaints or lawsuits involving Minneapolis-based host Patrick Kiley after hearing about his investment on a weekly Christian radio show called "Follow The Money."
Finding none, the 63-year-old from Jacksonville, Fla., invested his $270,000 nest egg -- money that has since evaporated after federal regulators shut down what they've called an elaborate, $190 million Ponzi scheme.
"I tried to do my level of due diligence," Annis said. "How could I be duped like this after years of investing?"
Ponzi schemes, named for infamous swindler Charles Ponzi, are extremely simple: Investors attracted by promises of high profits are paid with money from an ever-increasing pool of new investors, with the scammer skimming off the top. Sometimes the investments are at least partially legitimate but more often are completely fictional. There's no reserve fund for lean times, or for when droves of investors start demanding their money.
Ponzi himself was an Italian immigrant who concocted a scheme in 1919 involving bogus investments in postal currency. He cheated thousands of people out of $10 million, eventually going to jail for wire fraud before being deported back to Italy in 1934.
Eighty years after his scheme, federal statistics paint the picture of a Ponzi nation:
--The FBI opened more than 2,100 securities fraud investigations in 2009, up from 1,750 in 2008. The FBI also had 651 agents working in 2009 on high-yield investment fraud cases, which include Ponzis, compared with 429 last year.
--The SEC this year issued 82 percent more restraining orders against Ponzi schemes and other securities fraud cases this year than in 2008, and it opened about 6 percent more investigations. Ponzi scheme investigations now make up 21 percent of the SEC's enforcement workload, compared with 17 percent in 2008 and 9 percent in 2005.
--The Commodity Futures Trading Commission filed 31 civil actions in Ponzi cases this year, more than twice the 2008 amount.
Many of the 2009 cases have yet to head to trial. In its tally, the AP counted schemes in which prosecutions were initiated or in which regulators filed civil cases in 2008 and 2009.
The Justice Department does not have totals of how many people were convicted in Ponzi schemes for either year, or for previous years.
Experts believe the recession was the main reason for the collapse of so many Ponzi schemes, though the Madoff case brought greater regulatory scrutiny and heightened public awareness. More people are inclined to raise questions when things don't look right.
"We do get a lot more questions from investors now," said Denise Voigt Crawford, Texas Securities Comissioner. "They are really worried about Ponzi schemes. That's a good thing."

"Well we have about a month before the auction of the full patent rights for our company" That will not happen. I'm sure that the BOD has its reason why they did not make a statement yet, but like you said i trust in what they are doing and i'm sure that they will say something soon.
Notice the ones that are bashing the new BOD are the ones that just came on the board with their new alias.
In my posts yesterday I mention 8ks, my mistake I meant the court filings.
