It is also possible that this is "time/investor fatigue." We've been waiting for YEARS for an arbitration ruling that NEVER arrives. How can you be in arbitration for 3 years? We were going to have a patent sale in the 4th quarter of 2012, and if not then, in the 1st quarter of 2013. Oops... Another deadline misses the boat. How can these things keep happening? In the meantime, the entire world knows that the boys with the money will not pay until they have run out of 7 years of court options. I was under the understanding that our "network of networks" was a helluva thing. Surely SOMEBODY (Verizon, AT&T, whomever), would have a use for IDCC's technology to salvage their overloaded networks. Again, silence. At some point, investor confidence goes in the crapper. They look for options that are more predictable. At this time, IDCC's predictability remains WAY too low. There has to be a reason why Merritt said, "$800,000,000 to $1,000,000,000 in revenue in the next two to four years." He wasn't anticipating fruition in the near future. Pretty hard to to make a case for the masses to invest when time frames and predictability remain completely clouded. I would desperately like these events to occur so I can take this daily monitoring off my screen. Thirteen years is plenty.
