Yes indeed, I think those GPS patents in hindsight will turn out to be the deal of a lifetime.

Reminds me in 1999 when CIEN bought Lightera and got the deal of the century RIGHT before the optical explosion. They got their OEO switch (still one of the best on the market,now CoreDirector) for 500million then Nortel turns around and spends 3.25billion on Xros' OOO switch (NT just killed them off in March).

Sometimes being first at bat pays off.
