I don’t remember that but I agree with you it is feasible, especially after their recent financial surprise report. However, imo, Q is heavily invested as demonstrated by the transfers from Q to IDCC. I have found these kinds of moves are the final steps upon which evaluation results either move to buy-out or let it pass.
If it is determined by Q to be of future value, and Cisco makes a move, we’ll see a bidding event. We gave Q CDMA which enabled them to become the power they are today ( and enabled IDCC to survive). I am of the opinion Q May now want the whole package.
