UWB is different from "3G" in that it is only intended for short range applications like homes and office buildings, not city wide or nation nwide. Its speeds are significanlty faster than "3G", that is "3G" is maxing at 5Mbs or so peak, UWB is something like 500MBS, but don't quote me. So you could walk around your house or office with your laptop and remain connected. There is some contraversy over whether it will cause interfere with cell phones.

Qualcomm has no IPR as far as I know. As if it will affect Qualcomm, I doubt it because I really don't envision office workers "dialing in" to high speed wireless networks while they are at the office since they probably already have connections at the office. UWB as I understand it, is more of a threat to hard-wired office LANS.
