How do you know that the technology any or all of the alleged infringers use in their services, is the same (or as similar that is required by law to constitute infringement) as the vplm patents.

How do I know? Consider the patent language below.

For instance, when you type in a non-iMessage phone number into iMessage, it sends that text via the phone system SMS, intelligently routed. This is one simple example of infringement, as it implements (infringes upon) the process described.

It seems to me, given the depth & breadth of the technology, it can't possibly be an easy or intuitive question to answer. Also, thats what the infringement trials are for. But I'm just wanting to know why everyone (almost) accepts it as a fact? I hope you find that a fair question.

It is fair, but also repetitious at this point, as we've discussed it before. You won't accept my explanation, but also refuse to offer any opposing alternative to my simple examples (such as herein) as to how its possible that Apple could not be infringing, given the iMessage example I provide.

#815.1 A process for operating a call routing controller to facilitate communication between callers and callees in a system comprising a plurality of nodes with which callers and callees are associated, the process comprising: in response to initiation of a call by a calling subscriber, receiving a caller identifier and a callee identifier; locating a caller dialing profile comprising a username associated with the caller and a plurality of calling attributes associated with the caller; determining a match when at least one of said calling attributes matches at least a portion of said callee identifier; classifying the call as a public network call when said match meets public network classification criteria and classifying the call as a private network call when said match meets private network classification criteria; when the call is classified as a private network call, producing a private network routing message for receipt by a call controller, said private network routing message identifying an address, on the private network, associated with the callee; when the call is classified as a public network call, producing a public network routing message for receipt by the call controller, said public network routing message identifying a gateway to the public network.
