Great analysis by Tom Carpenter

not because it's positive, but because it is thorough, well thought out and the analysis is logical and realistic. It is a great service to us to get that type of analysis. Thank you Tom for sharing it with us and thank you Jim for bringing this type of quaility insight to the board. Whether the conclusion is optimistic or pessimistic is not the criteria for judging an analyst. The question is whether he knows the facts, understands the company and the industry and is logical and realistic in his opinion. Tom Carpenter has always met those criteria. It's okay if you disagree with him, but anyone who critcizes him for his opinion is just plain ignorant.

I'm very glad that it is very positive and it reinforces many of my opinions. I am very excited about IDCC's future. I am very grateful to have access to infomation like Tom's report because it gives me a reality check to make sure that I am still being realistic in my expectations and that there are no significant issues that I am missing.

So once again, a big thank you to Tom Carpenter for sharing his expertise here and to Jim Lurgio for creating and maintaining this board and bringing information here that is not available anywhere else.
