It looks like patents are moving from one hand to the other in a perpetual fight.

As Om Malik puts it, that was the easiest part:
 
… now companies have to get onboard with the concept, start developing silicon and equipment. But more than that, money has to be found, to essentially (and eventually) replicate the cellular mobile infrastructure. It is going to be a very costly and long drawn out process. It might be easy to get caught in the euphoria surrounding the news, but we all need to take a deep breath and get prepared for a long haul.
 
The Register has a short story about this announcement.
 
I have not had the time to look into the specification but WiMAX could be seen as a threat to mobile broadcasting systems such as DMB, DVB-H or MediaFLO. And since WiMAX’s mother tongue is “Internet”,  it could be seen as the long awaited and open platform for disruptive mobile applications. Broadcasting 2.0 believers will have to dig into WiMAX broadcasting capabilities.

    Great tips for WEB 2.0 branding. I would have loved it 3 weeks ago as I started my new blog!

    Everyday we’re getting closer to mobile TV applications. It’s still not clear to me how important our needs for real-time video streams on-the-move are. But TV was never mobile. It’s certainly worth a try.
