Hi cherry_pkr,

In your post you make references to patents, a company and antenna challenges.

Care to share which 2 of the 412 Interdigital U. S. patents or 664 patents, published applications or pending patents you believe are essential? I use the 2 links below for IDCC patent searches.

All - We don't talk much anymore about the Tantivy antenna purchase in 2003 but James A. Proctor was an engineer for Tantivy. He helped create 59 patents, published applications or pending patents. 42 for Tantivy, 10 for IDCC and other patents for Qualcomm and others. Our engineering strength also benefitted from the Tantivy purchase.

cherry_pkr - Care to share which chip company encountered dropped link problems 3 years ago? Could it be Anadigics who has been a train wreck since 2008 as opposed to Altair Semiconductor that launched their WiMAX baseband chip in 2008?

You mention MIMO multiple antenna challenges. Care to share your thoughts on the Skycross Isolated Mode Antenna Technology? Smart antenna technology in the form of ESA and AESA antennas for the military have been fielded for years. The miniature size and power for cellular technology is not insurmountable.

You also mention Apple which had their own iPhone 4 antenna gain challenges.

I think Apple buying the IDCC patent portfolio would be good for both companies. Hmm...wonder if they might have a fix for the antenna gain problem also. The latest iPhone 5 rumor for the antenna fix is below. FOR HUMOR ONLY - Steve Jobs returns as Apple CEO to buy IDCC in order to resoplve iPhone antenna problems for good! - FOR HUMOR ONLY

By the way, pretty surprised you posted your clearance on the internet to gain credibility.

Have a nice day and I look forward to your responses.
