Being somewhat convinced that EDIG`s patent(s) are currently being infringed, with admitted ignorance (I`m not a super-techie, but I can read and interpret), I`ve concluded that EDIG is waiting for two things to converge before taking action. One, wait until infringement is so pervasive that success in litigation would create an absolute windfall, as well as many new business relationships. Two, wait until they have the ready cash on hand to effectively execute litigation with the most fairable terms with their litigators (e.g., minimal contingencies via pay-as-you-go). This COULD be the plan, IMO (part one is what RP suggested in a conversation in Jan `00 re: the patent I referred to in a recent post).

But, alas, I KNOW nuttin`!
