jjz - and I'll match you expert for expert in the semi business. Although they have not commented on Spoke's posts, since I haven't shared his comments with them, I do share RIM's PRs and to a man they all believe RIM is a bogus company, making outlandish claims. And I've already posted when the concensus was on Telcordia.
My hunch is both of us are not going to post who specifically we've consulted with, to protect our network, but the proof is in the pudding - RIM has still been unable after 3-4 yrs of Brad saying they will have a finished ASIC or ASSP on the market to do so.
