It's always been about the patents since day one. The markets they encompass are billion dollar opportunities and EDIG is due a piece of that.
That is happening NOW.
IFE developed late in the company's history and still holds promise but with gas prices gyrating, the world economy in the can and stock prices cut in half or worse, everyone is in conservation mode until the dust settles.
There is no lending due to the banking crisis so I see continued tightening until something signals otherwise.
All the more reason to recognize how fortunate EDIG is to have launched their IP efforts when they did.
Granted the first settlement was relatively small, but even that small settlement almost equaled the previous years quarter's top line but blew away the bottom line.
Why you refuse to sign on to that reality escapes most everyone here.
