VVV, I haven't heard anything definitive, the majority of what I speak to is general, there will be no press release by any party until things are signed, sealed and delivered but if what was said regarding the approval of final patent is true, then I can only assume that if a deal was in place, it will progress quickly which means people on the move to come together for a signing and then hopefully a news release. the time frame to cash out may be 60-180 days, who knows but that has no relevance regarding an announcement. If Microsoft or Google or any other fortune 500 company has approached VPLM, do you really think that they would make it public knowledge, that would only be detrimental to their objective of getting the best value for the money. Does anyone believe that Bill Gates would call up Eric Schmidt and say hey, I have been looking into buying this company called VPLM, it has great intellectual property that will really protect my investment in Skype, not to mention it would be a great move to really put a squeeze on your mobile business, also they have a patent called lawful intercept, I tried to get it a while back but it was declined, I guess that was my fault for hiring the programmers from Digifonica who initially worked on the VPLM patent, I mean hey they only copied 75% of the original patent. additionally, does anyone think that VPLM is so stupid to announce that we have received an offer but only one, its from Google for 2.5 billion dollars and is contingent of final patent approval, Google goes hmmm, backs out and then once final approval comes in and says well, I guess we are the only ones so how does 5 bucks sound... IMHO, people waiting for news, its like waiting for a toaster to pop, or watching paint dry. relax, enjoy. One way or the other the ride will begin and some of us will enjoy and others will be disappointed... This is why I suggest people call IR, just see if there is movement, that's how the American Government detects threats, that look through a satellite picture, that's all we can do, look for movement.
