once,
Do you still stand by these statements you made in the past. btw, you contradict yourself in the first two statements.
"The market does not value shrinking royalty streams very highly so I don't put much value on a TDMA royalty stream even if IDC wins the Ericy suit.
Just don't under-estimate the importance of the Ericy case. Sure, it's only for TDMA and it's only for the US but IDCC's future licensing ability depends upon a favorable settlement of the 2G Ericy case.
The current Ericy/IDCC litigation will not determine 3G royalties
. IDC bulls take it for granted that IDC's patents are central to current and future wireless networks, professional analysts want confirmation from IDC's peers, confirmation that, in my opinion, is likely to never come.
For years the hypesters have been saying the Ericsson lawsuit will settle 2G and 3G issues but any fool can see the case is only covering alleged infringement of 2G. 3G has nothing to do with it. Any investor would be foolish to not consider the odds that IDC is up against when it comes to licensing the majors in any meaningful way."
