Interesting and true...........................................................until it isn't.
"Price is determined by what they do and how much revenue they bring in. Top athletes put people in seats, and buying jerseys and bring in more money to the teams than journeymen players. Voip-Pal patents are foundational technology that will bring in bring revs to the owners."
This needs to be separated into it's 2 parts to be fully understood.
""Price is determined by what they do and how much revenue they bring in."
That part is undeniably true and applies to any and all products.
In the case of vplm, the patents were created close to 20 yrs ago and I'm sure if there was any way for any of them to do what they allegedly do and there was a buyer or any other way to convert to revenue, the owners would have done so...unless the the payment offered was simply too small. In any event, in the case of vplm patents, never been any revenue generated and THAT, above, is the criteria, the hallmark.. Nothing there, so the given requirement, has not been met........for a very very long time. As to what they do, there is no known proof of that. In fact, there is no known anything not even an indicator. (Hmmmm....maybe THATS why vplm promised to fold the tech into their alleged voip service provider platform........but then DIDNT). Only vplm saying they were tested but to my knowledge the test results have never been made available. Thus, both above criteria have not been met in any way, shape or form.
You can jump up and down and stand on your head, swearing the patents can do this, that and the other, but I am handling it as in a court of law. No proofee, no infringee.
The 2nd part:
"Voip-Pal patents are foundational technology that will bring in bring revs to the owners."
* this attempts to offer itself as fact but it's nothing more than an unsubstantiated claim.
"Are foundational" is someone's completely unproven opinion. A judge would of course, not just accept that. Therefore it's not true.............until it is........but for now......it ain't.
"that will bring in revenues to the owners"
* Yes and no. Needs to be unpacked. Indirectly, the STORY (the unsubstantiated claims) has served to bring tons of money to the owners via the share selling biz this is. But the patents have not directly garnered any conventional revenue, ever. So, in terms of the above requirements given, the patents are a FAIL.
One cannot make something be true, by conflating intentions and beliefs, with actual happenstance and reality. THAT is exactly what the OP attempted to do in the post.
Discernment young man, discernment.
All my commentary is to be considered as my personal opinions, to which I am entitled. And there is no proof of said opinions unless I offer it in the comments.
