ETSI has decided to strengthen its policy and is streamlining the declaration process. The standards body, based in Sophia Antopolis, France, is also introducing safeguards that will enable IPR holders to voluntarily declare the terms and conditions attached to their IPR ahead of the standardisation of a new technology. ETSI has also declared that it will no longer be mandatory for the organization to select technologies purely on the basis of their technical merits and regardless of other considerations. Wonder who is the target here withis initiative? Declaring terms and conditions ex ante is no big deal for Q, but I wonder if the new rules will require Q to disclose the exact amount of the licensee fee. Allowing selection of inferior technology for the standard is a new and interesting development. I really don't blame Q for its judgment call in giving in to the ETSI on WCDMA, but I often wonder what the wireless world would look like if it had told it to take a flying leap at a rolling doughnut way back when.
