I believe the problems in the past with the 2g signings and idcc recognition had been set up many years ago with the qualcom transaction and the mot loss. You know yourself most companies have been piggy backing off of that one jury decision and Idcc has been fighting for 2g monies ever since.
Hopefully, 3g will be different. I believe the signing of LG sent a signal that idcc will eventually sign the other 5 majors. No body drops that kind of money for ipr that is unnecessary. Unlike 2g, hopefully this will be somewhat easier since 2g can't be held over idcc's head as a bargaining chip. I hope so and will continue to cuddle up to my idcc holdings with that position in mind realizing there is a chance I may be wrong.
Now I have been critical and have become extremely upset in the past for sure.. and I have the right to do so in the future as long as I hold and consider idcc to be a major portion of my portfolio. ... but I will guarantee that if protracted court battles ensue with 3g and I become so disenchanted with idcc that I vacate my position and sell my stock or hold a minor position or bounce in and out as an occasional day trader then... ...
I will leave the board and won't hassle other members that believe they have a good investment. I have too much respect for several long holders on this board and besides there surely is just no point in it. That's my upbringing and that's what I've been taught is the honorable thing to do. That's my opinion and it will remain to be that way. Others may feel different, but I suspect not. Off to a lurking mode for awhile, I think. Yep!! Summer is coming. .. .. nic
