Here is a fragment of a 10 year old note to Motorola legal about a call I had
with one of their guys back when I was paying pretty large royalties to be
listed on their third party website..... (I held H pol for over a year at
their request due to their deal with Earthlink)
I told him that the meager amount of traffic we get from the web site is not
worth the royalty. And again rehearsed the points of the . . . . . . email.
[he] then gave me a litany of particulars that I found offensive and for the
most part erroneous as listed below:
a.. WB is taking advantage of Motorola.
b.. WB currently gets all advantages that Cascade gets. (Oh, Really!)
c.. WB too small to get same deal as MTI, Maxrad and Mars.
d.. Maxrad, MTI and Mars pay zero royalty.
e.. Motorola does not trust or suspects our data on our 900 MHz stinger.
f.. (He said the wave form might not be accurate and how could we just draw
a waveform like that. They cannot believe the waveform. I presume he meant
antenna pattern).
[he] said Mot was talking to Equinox about getting FCC approval and 3rd party
listings. (Equinox is a competitor of WB as is Mars, Maxrad and MTI)
I told [him] to please remove our listing from the Motorola web site and
consider the agreement terminated. I told him that we were proceeding with the
launch of all products including H pol on all frequencies. He indicated that I
could not do that, I told him to just watch me.
He would not terminate the call and continued to press for continued dialog.
I repeated multiple times, “please remove me from the website”. I finally had
to hang up on him .
