linedrive.....I can vouch for you as you have been around about the same time as I have and I remember people asking you if you were delivering any pizzas to QCOM...I think you feel the same frustration and pessimism that many here have developed. The longs have held pretty strong thru all the years of saying and thinking "this will be our defining year, after this result we will have our proof, next year at this time we will be rolling along, this will validate our IPR" the latest of which was the Nokia arbitration. Everyone including me thought that would be the defining moment, yet we are still waiting and who knows how long it may drag out. I thought our defiining moment was going to be that watershed event of ERICY...see how that panned out. I am not being negative I just think some people forget that long term holders have really been tested and sometimes its natural to question the investment. This doesn't make anyone SHORT or anti IDCC its just reality at this point. Its good to see nieves post all the positive news of our competitors and "so-called" licensee's (read Nokia) everyday but after awhile I get a little frustrated not seeing any positive announcements from K of P. You have to think that MErritt was 99.99% sure of new licensees or upgrades in 3Q or he wouldn't have made the comment....if he misses that again (I think it was 4Q2004 when that happened)we will have problems. The street has to regain trust that IDCC can get it done, burned too many times and they will move on....

Line Drive hitter:

Now that you mention it,I do remember somebody saying they would buy Pizzas at one time..

Didn't you change that order somehow?

Looks like IDCC did you in..

Now,I fully understand your dismay,as well as a few other longs on this board..

Maybe you can give me a list of the holders of IDCC since 1999..so I don't step on too many toes?

Maybe Jimlur can?

[Raging Bull]I seldom..if ever post there...

I am only 68 and 1/2 inches myself...Maybe someday I can visit you and sling some dough,Huh[$$$$]

I remember actually wondering what ever happened to 'techlover.'

Knowing this has brought me some closure on this. Thanks.

Agree that there have been plenty of dashed "hopes" back along that rocky trail, but some of us are still convinced that the value potential is as strong as we ever thought it was for IDCC. 3G is finally happening, and W-CDMA networks are being deployed in the kind of volumes we have been hoping to see.

It's true that IDCC has only licensed a small portion of the 3G production capacity at this point, but that could change at any time. Nokia has been blocking that road, but IMO they appear to be on a slippery slope these days. Guessing that ICC arb awards command respect within the inner circles of the legal community.

How many more flakey lawsuits can Nokia file before we find a judge who "gets it", and decides to levy some old fashioned justice? I'm thinking that we are about due for a judge with both a brain AND a backbone.

OT - Linedrive - Not to mention your pizza is great, your family enchanting, and when we visited the Bay Area, you took time out to show us around places we would never have found on our own. Regards to all.
