Wow, thanks for this post GBC!

According to many herein, I thought it was futile to apply for and own software patents; however, If that were the case; why would these tech goliaths (Apple/Google) be doing the same?

From google's "Project Fi" patent application, snippet below:

"devices, systems, and methods for providing telecommunication access and applications to users in a flexible manner. Devices may operate on multiple networks, and may in certain circumstances seek out bids from telecommunication service providers. For example, a device such as a mobile telephone may have the capability to operate over multiple different networks, including a home network when in the home, to transition to a metropolitan network when outside the home but in a higher-density area (urban/suburban), and transition to a more traditional cellular network when outside such a higher density area. The connections may, in appropriate circumstances, be provided by different telecommunications providers, and may involve hand-offs of a particular communication session from one provider to another."

If Google wanted to provide VOIP users the ability to switch from one network (wi-fi or not) to another without dropping calls, wouldn't Google (and apple for that matter too) need VP's "Uninterrupted Transmission of IP" patent? Looks like RBR, MG & LI aren't the only huge patents in the VP portfolio, IMO of course!!
