Regarding Williams blog site
I believe Street and the infamous unidentified attorney represented us well there.
I asked about Brew - I had not read that site since Claw & Street referred us there in February - At least we know where Brew was blogging in February.
Patent Workarounds - Like Koko stated - There may be some down the road, however, IMO the security aspect of the Neustar association has it's very apparent rewards, and the workarounds, could remain garage/basement geek hypes for a few more years - at least until the patent life has expired.
