So that is Apple, and Microsoft backing this move, and Cisco also with it's name in the hat, from something I read a while ago.

So FRAND... Are apple, MS and Cisco right?

Another report on the anti-trust issue last month...

To acquire a "pathway" onto the airwaves, one must be a certain company with certain permissions to do so (I cannot readily recall this legal bit). Motorola is one such company. Once Google has them, expect TV sets to be sold under the brand name of "Google", complete with preloaded "Googlesque" software/capabilities. An FCC insider told me this a few weeks back, I will try to find specifics.
