Mickey: I don't want to fan that buyout fire to much but don't forget MOT or NOK.

$350/share by the way

Mickey, heard the same from a broker yesterday. Do you think, like he does, that it will be for a measly $50/share????

I think that I found a hole in your theory. We would be a much more attractive takeover target if we HAD all the 3G contracts in place. A buyer would believe that right now it is an uncertainty that IDCC will even get 3G licenses. They could be buying on a hope and a prayer. Once we have licenses then it becomes a better value to a purchaser. Of course, by then, it will be way past 50$ JMHO

Mickey, re: validation

If ERICY only paid for U.S. infringement, why would MOT or anyone else pay for anything beyond that?

My expectation was that a settlement would launch the stock because even if we got peanuts (or even just the shells) for 2G, we would have a 3G license that would validate our IP for 3G, giving us visability and growth for the rest of the decade. I'm hoping ERICY's newly discovered integrity will lead to a 3G license announcement in the near future with a figure that is not below 0.25%. 3G licenses at a decent rate is what we need to be a great growth company in the years to come.
