Thanks. I wouldn't underestimate the fact that both cases might settle before the trial date. I don't think Calypso would have included the Daic parties in settlement discussions with Tmob. It wasn't required and the new BOD has been attempting to rid itself of any influence or control by the Daic parties. Calypso has to make the Daic parties irrelevant and I think they have done that so far. If there is a requirement at all it might be to inform them of a settlement. I don't think they would include them in any negotiations and would only include them if it was required per the 2008 agreement. I don't think you include anyone in settlement discussions unless they are absolutely required to be there. The larger the group involved in negotiations, the larger the possibility of not agreeing. It's really a business decision, I don't think it has to get personal. I think the focus of the BOD is to make a deal, minimize any dealings with the Daic parties and move on to other infringers. I would guess the BOD would like to eliminate the Daic parties and reverse the prior judgment, but if that possibility doesn't exist, I think they move on.
