Maybe we should ask the company if the Ericsson contract precludes renegotiating any GSM, GPRS and EDGE revenues after three years is up? Don't let them brush you off with a "We think that will be an insignificant part of the market in three years." I think even 10% would be significant.


During the conference, I recall management said that it would be renegotiated when the time expired. This was in answer to a question on what happen after the time when the contract end. Let's hope it does not turn into a Sharp PDC/PHS case.

Once, it may show that you are in fact balanced, and a good sport if you would dedicate one of your many many posts to the positive attributes of IDCC.

I know you may perceive this as repetitive, and a waste of time, but some may find it refreshing to hear something positive from you for a change. After all, one post could not be that disruptive to your schedule, in light of all of the time in your life that you have dedicated to the discussion of this company. Further, with respect to reiteration, certainly you must acknowledge that you have "reiterated" many of the same negatives over the years.

"The reason for this should be obvious. There are already plenty of people pointing out any and all positives, why would I reiterate what they are already saying?"

It's extremely likely that by the end of 2006 the majority of handsets sold will be dual mode (WCDMA, GSM) in nature. Therefore, sales of those products will be covered by a different license, and thus IDCC will be paid for GSM/GPRS, just under a different license.
