We all know that Apple is on a “thermonuclear war” to destroy Android, and the company has been relentless in pursuit of its goal with all the lawsuits it’s been serving out left and right to Android handset manufacturers globally. While this could get rid of all potential competition for Apple, it might be detrimental to shareholders according to an intellectual property expert, Kevin Rivette.
In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Rivette believes that Apple could probably collect up to $10 in royalties for every Android device sold – twice the amount that Microsoft makes for each Android phone that HTC sells. Now we all know that probably won’t happen with Apple being unwilling to license its patents, but there’s something to think about.

The most sensational thing that has happened is that many households in recent years also have begun to watch TV via the broadband network. It has in Sweden led to that Telia has about half a million TV customers.
Though just as Freeserve, Teracom / Boxer, Viasat and Canal Digital, Telia engaged principally in selling complete packages with a variety of channels. Then spice up the phone company with additional services.
New players are entering and they take advantage of new technology that allows them to pick up regular television with cell phones and all forms of computer games and other IT services.
Perhaps we are now facing the very same big change in broadcasting as music and mobile industry has already gone through. They have seen how the big IT companies coming in and changing the way the established companies.
