>>EU OK To Patent Pact Gives Boost To 3G Equipment Makers<<

Is this releases implying that regulators view a consortium trying to define the limit for royalties to <5% and determining the value of contributors individual patents, as being an unfair practice and anti-competitive, if the consortium is too dominant, i.e., includes the dominant manufacturers? Does this effect the breadth and effectiveness of the consortium in controlling IPR revenue. If not, a consortium of this sort, strong arming companies to limit the value of their IPR, certainly seems like it would be anti-competitive.
