The entry of competitors into this space is all good news for Calypso, IMO. It validates Calypso's vision, which was well ahead of any of the major corporations that are now rolling out their own versions of converging solutions.
For sure, all of this will end up in court, IMO. I am not a lawyer but I don't see a need at this time for Calypso to file patent infringement lawsuits, because Calypso does not have a way to measure their potential damage claim. When announced deals stating the revenues from converging solutions are available, that is when Calypso can make a claim for damages. I am not a lawyer, but that is how I look at it, IMO.
Bottom line: 2006 is the year marking the beginning of converged solutions. Calypso is well positioned in the market.
