The Financial Times reports that chipmaker Broadcom, is attempting to secure an injunction stopping Qualcomm, its larger competitor, from selling a variety of mobile phone chips that it claims infringes its patents.
The papers says the litigation is a new stage in an intellectual property war between chip companies trying to grab a share of the potential profits from third-generation mobile phones.
Is 3G really the end all?
Good point. Next year we'll see Wimax unfold to tie all wi-fi spots together, sort of...
ReplyDeleteWith a wi-fi mobile you can already connect to pstn-numbers and vice versa...the 911 problem is just a temp hickup IMO...
So why still bet on 3g, EVDO, HSDPA?
I may be missing something here, but what if Wimax sells and spreads like wildfire just as Wi-fi did?

Exactly..What if?
ReplyDeleteWhat if it does, who has the power then and what technologies will be deployed??
Good summary, however, wi-fi ubiquity is not as hard to achieve as you think.
ReplyDeleteHow will it be achieved? Ahhh that's the 64k question..stay tuned.
