Review: Qualcomm, and quite a few others, will be wiped out by an electromagnetic storm: WiFi/WiMax plus Skype.

Review: The article analyzes the impact of this complaint from a 3G perspective, and suggests it's not of much use. However, using the same last observation in the article differently, this fight may have more to do with 4G than 3G. In 3G, the companies settled for better technology (Qualcomm's CDMA) for a higher price. With Qualcomm's purchase of Flarion, Qualcomm signaled it intends to repeat the same with 4G, while continuing to be a pain in these companies' (plus Intel's) throat for some time to come. As this next 4G battle is brewing, these companies (plus many more that will probably also join the circus soon) needed to warn Qualcomm. If they don't see much cooperation, I think they will try to steer the standards away from Qualcomm's potential future loyalty streams before it's too late, as it is in 3G, this time choosing price over technology.

Review: These complaints are merely grousing about Qualcomm's better technology and therefore dominant position. It is a sad day when they try to gang up on Qualcomm through political means. They won't succeed.
