It looks like it was an easy choice about which standard to support....WWiSE was requiring a RAND-Z (Reasonable and Non-discriminatory zero royalty) policy I guess so. The top technical [and administrative] guys at Airgo assigned all of their patents to Cisco, who is not part of WWiSE. The announcement I suppose is in preparation for the 1/21/05 meeting. This means TGnSync wins. Lots of power there--Q, Intel, Cisco. If 802.11n is as big as I think it might eventually be, I wonder if Q will be able to ask Cisco and Intel for the licensing deal it offers the rest of the world? By the way, Cisco is a licensee for infra. Belkin, which is selling pre-standard stuff, is not listed as a licensee. If there is no arrangement in place, we may see a patent fight.
