As more and more time goes by, Calypso is able to approach investment bankers etc. to line up funding to take out Daic at $110 million. Think of the appeals etc Calypso can make to stall this thing out. All Calypso needs is about five firms willing to put in $25 million a piece to take out Daic (Heck with a loan from Microsoft alone that shouldn't be too hard). There have to be enough firms out there with this much cash laying around that want to get in on the action.
Dave it's time to contact Google, Microsoft and the big boys to see if they want in on the action. Maybe that's what the Tmob talks are about. A partnership with Calypso ends their law suit, legitimizes the patent, creates opportunities with the other cell phone companies and gets rid of Daic. With the upfront money, no negotiation is needed with Daic. Tmob shares in the future profits, it doesn't cost them anything other than upfront money easily reimbursed from new licensing deals and LIFE IS GOOD.
Daic's time for settlement is running out otherwise he ends up with chump change.
