Everyone has a patent for everything. Unless leeway is given to companies, then it'll be Everyone Vs . Everyone. The only losers will be customers and people looking for technological advancements. After all, if you hold a piece of the puzzle that I need to make my invention, then it could become costly to buy the rights or usage. Many inventions are already made at huge losses and take years to recoup. Just look at the drug company. They spend 10s of millions to find a drug that MAY OR MAY NOT be approved by the FDA or acceptable after trials. Not to mention, even if said drug is approved, the sharks (lawyers) out there are always looking for a reason to sue. I'm sure we've all seen the commercials. Hence, the problem here is that it will take 10 times longer to make advancements if all this crap continues.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20214522 Sun, 23 Mar 2008 22:15:55 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20212311 ureihcim : Proprietary radio technology is not the answer, and if it is then it must be something as opened as say Wifi or Wimax.
