    Patents relating to 4G apparently.

    Why are we building our global communication networks on patented IP that has to be licensed anyway? Isn’t this a huge barrier to entry to the telecommunications market for new businesses? Why is the market artificially protected in this way?

    Lobbyists and bribes; I bet the answer is lobbyists and bribes.
