Voip Pal Com Inc (VPLM)

[nyt]

I've never said they are not in talks with them. What I've said tho, is that it sure doesn't appear so, all things considered. The simple point I've tried to say, is thst sure, big deals can & do sometimes take a long time... but in this case...I see it as a whole different venture, that is IF the patent portfolio is what is has been touted, promised & believed to be. I have spelled it out, in detail, why in this case, there is just too much to lose, by fooling around for many mos & yrs and/or to lose it to some upststart or big competitor.

That us why I ask over & over... How can those big dogs afford to lose this... IF IT'S REALLY THAT BIG?? But especially MS.. All the folks here who have said over & over that the proof of the foundational & humongous value of the patents, was Microsoft's so called big 5 yr "fight" for LI. Ok, that was a long time ago, so why haven't they grabbed the all important patent (with the rest), since they were defeated?? How much of an offer do you think it would've taken to get vplm? What good is $8.5 bil Skype w/o the rights to use it?
