    It's a Qualcomm led attempt at Patent Land grab.

    It's got nothing much to do with LTE for Mobile.

    Fortunately it's likely to fail.

    A Qualcomm Trollbooth?

    From the comments

    So LTE would appear to be a powerplay by Qualcomm, then?

    Qualcomm essentially wants to replace everything everyone else owns with something they own. Which would make them the tollbooth troll of the internet, mobile, wifi and emergency communications.

    Welcome to the new monopoly overlords.
    For an earpiece or keyboard LTE is power hungry overkill.

    For Gadgets, phones, laptops and tablets in the home and office LTE isn't a good match either. That's a lot of legacy gear.

    Qualcomm have for years been more interested in patent revenue than technology. That's why they bought Flarion and killed it and Flash-OFDMA.

    Sounds a bit like MS and one Windows to Rule them all.

    One size doesn't fit all. Stick to Mobile Network stuff.

    Oh and LTE totally messed up any provision for Mobile voice. On air should be a native frame based low overhead voice codec with conversion to VOIP at the mast equipment. Not VOIP over the Radio to /from the mast. The mind boggles at the dog's dinner a committee driven by Qualcomm patent revenue dreams would make of replacing Tetra, Bluetooth and WiFi.
