> Stick it in a phone with software to make it a new machine

Goin' round this circle again. The protocol is set by the SSO, who in their
wisdom or otherwise, admit the existence of SEPs. Those SEPs are held
on the one hand by chipmakers for hardware, and on the other hand by
software vendors for a fraud on the nation. Buy a box of chips and
solder them into your phone board, the license fee is in the chip price
and patent exhaustion applies. Write your own software to make your
phone work, and the vultures descend with their writs for infringing
their method patents that cover any and every method of using those
chips, which they did not make and have nothing significant to do with.

I don't believe your phone is a new machine. The machine was defined
by the SSO when they published the protocol specification. The SSO's
problem is they have to provide a multinational solution.
The trolls mostly hide within national jurisdictions. Then again if the
market has 1.2 billion punters lining up to buy a phone, it might be
easier for the trolls to just make and sell stuff ripped off from other
people's patents.
