LT: I'd be ecstatic if $5.00 pps.

Do you have some stats on cable companies and their tech having SEP designation? Otherwise I see this as being a tall order for Chanbond to be able to negotiate with the 13 to get a SEP - seems like an additional ask beyond just a set value for the patents. Makes sense when companies are all cell phone companies with some similar tech. So, if Comcast had some of Chanbond's patents for example and Cox had another - then I could see some horse trading to arrive at a SEP.

I skimmed this EU article for some SEP #s - pg 27 and even then its estimated the SEPs declared are likely too high. And it mostly looks like cell phone tech.

EU commissioned report SEP

My experience has been that usually industry players do not want the same exact standards as everyone else (except if they are trying to play catch up)- then what is there to distinguish your brand from brand X?

Standards organizations for all industries, of course, are always trying to corral industry players to skim a cut for themselves to "support" such designations as you say. They are viewed as yet another "toll."

I just don't see why either side would want it in this case? But, I'm curious about how you see a SEP being settled since you brought it up. Maybe, just maybe if Chanbond wins the Cisco appeal, I'd see an opportunity for a SEP designation. Otherwise it strikes me as a bit of an ephemeral dream.
