The Defendants' Business Model Is at Risk
The defendants' forced bundling practices are central to their collective $200 billion annual gross profit. However, this business model is on the verge of collapse if the lawsuits proceed. Each defendant faces unique risks:
AT&T: Its reputation as an industry leader could be permanently tarnished by prolonged litigation.
Verizon: Its reliance on premium consumer services makes it particularly vulnerable to consumer backlash.

Exclusive Interview with VoIP-
Q&A: A Visionary Perspective on the Case
Q. The three carriers you collectively sued must by now have a war room with dozens of legal experts, and dozens of motions will likely be filed to exhaust you financially. How do you intend to stay alive?
A. We've been in litigation for nearly ten years, and we're still here. The shift to antitrust and RICO claims has made the litigation narrower and more confined. To expedite the process and focus the court's attention, we plan to file a motion for bifurcation, which will streamline the case by addressing the key illegal actions first.
Q. What is "Bifurcation"?
A. Bifurcation is a legal strategy where we request the court to divide the trial into two phases. The first phase focuses on litigating the most significant illegal conduct that forms the backbone of the complaints. This allows the court to address liability issues upfront and potentially resolve the case faster.
Q. Can you list the specific illegal actions you want to prioritize?
A. Our complaints detail these actions clearly. The most critical issues are the tying of cellular calling to Wi-
Q. Do you expect the new DOJ, the FTC, consumer protection organizations, and the State Attorneys General to join in and support your complaint?
A. Whether they join or not has nothing to do with VoIP-
Q: In the complaint you label AT&T, Verizon, and T-
A: A combined $200 billion gross profit doesn't place them above antitrust laws, RICO, or the 1999 Telecommunications Act. Their coordinated practices, including forced bundling, harm consumers and suppress competition.
Q: How much would you settle for?
A: VoIP-
Q: What is your vision for the telecommunications industry?
A: A world where consumers pay just $10 per month for home internet and unlimited local and international calls. U.S. carriers can lead this revolution and increase their subscriber base to billions, competing globally with innovations like Starlink.
Q: Years ago, you predicted Artificial Intelligence (AI) would shape the future. Did you mean telecommunications?
A: Absolutely. Telecommunications and Silicon Valley have a golden opportunity to integrate AI into communication procedures and lead the world. Quantum "AI" will be the next frontier, and companies like IBM are already pioneering this shift.
Q: Your vision for Quantum "AI" sounds inhuman.
A: It's both a promise and a warning. In 10 years, humanity could either harness Quantum "AI" for extraordinary advancements or face existential challenges. The key is responsible innovation.
Q: You have been in litigation with nearly all the major Silicon Valley entities. Why?
A: I had no choice but to litigate—it was either allow them to exploit our technology for free or stand up and fight for what's right. Silicon Valley billionaires have grown so powerful that they've shifted their focus from innovation to consolidating control, acting as a de facto global government. Worse, they are using their platforms to spread misinformation, even influencing voting outcomes in many countries. This manipulation of information is a dangerous path that risks their own downfall. They need to refocus on what made them successful—driving technological innovation, particularly in transformative fields like artificial intelligence ("AI"). Their mission should be fostering creativity and progress, not undermining democracy or controlling narrative.
Risk Assessment for Not Settling Sooner
The defendants face an unparalleled legal and financial threat. Prolonging litigation only benefits outside counsel, who stand to make over $100 million in fees. VoIP-
