Snip from above link:

ABBI SILVER, ANALYST, BEAR STEARNS: Hi, I just wanted to ask about WiMAX and whether you believe based on your understanding of Flarion's OFDM patent portfolio and yours if vendors will need to access those patents to deploy WiMAX which does use OFDM?

DR. PAUL JACOBS: I'll let Steve answer that.

STEVE ALTMAN: Yes, we believe our portfolio as well as Flarion's portfolio would be applicable to WiMAX. And Flarion -- we looked at this acquisition and we see a lot of similarities between ourselves and them. They are I think, considered by the industry as being pioneering in this area. And their patent portfolio reflects that. And as you know, we've been doing work in the area as well. So, it probably doesn't surprise many of you to understand that we believe very strongly that these patents, with this combination would apply to WiMAX as well as other OFDMA solutions.

ABBI SILVER: Okay, great, thank you.


OPERATOR: Thank you, our next question comes from the line of Mona Eriba of Rosetta Group, please proceed with your question.

MONA ERIBA, ANALYST, ROSETTER GROUP: Yes, I just wanted a clarification. There is not a licensing at all between the Flarion and say Motorola or Intel or Nokia regarding the technologies?

STEVE ALTMAN: That's correct.

MONA ERIBA: Okay, thanks.
