The infringement numbers are MIND-BLOWING!

~64.3M cable customers (majors in the US only)

If each customers represents ONLY 1/5th of a penny a day for, say, 10 years =

.002*365*10*64.3M = 469.39M

469.39M/1,614,601,069 last O/S = 0.29/share

Patent infringement value scenarios based on # of cable customers:

0.29/share = .002 (charge 1/5th a penny a day for 10 years)
0.73/share = .005 (charge 1/2 a penny...)
1.44/share = .01 (charge 1 penny a day...)
2.88/share = .02 (charge 2 pennies a day...)
4.32/share = .03 (charge 3 cents per day...)

And for 20 years (life of utility patent) double that! Will go for royalties to equalize out.

Patent infringement value scenarios based on revenues:

64.35M cable subscribers
$60 per month for one's internet connection or "ACCESS" only (NO CONTENT INCLUDED!)
12 months per year
$46,332,000,000 per year
20 years (Suing for the life of the patent(s), via royalties)
$926,640,000,000 (Almost a TRILLION DOLLARS)
__@_______w/ ~1,614,601,069 shares O/S
0.1% == $926,640,000________$0.57/share (that's 1/10th of 1% for infringement)
0.25% = $2,316,600,000?______$1.44 (1/4th of 1%)
0.5% == $4,633,200,000______$2.87 (half a %)
1% === $9,266,400,000______$5.74
