Google/Motorola Vindicated

Nice!

Now I hope the FTC turns their attention to the entities that were screaming loud and hard about such an evil Google and examines how those entities are behaving.

For example, it would be sweet for the FTC to turn it's attention to whether or not Apple/Microsoft are willing to enter negotiations in the first place :)

Suggestion for the FTC: Don't just get a yes/no from Apple/Microsoft:

    Actually sit in on the negotiations to observe their willingness in Act and not just Word.

Not that interesting...

Of course, if a company wasn't willing to license the technology (perhaps
because they claimed they weren't infringing it it or for some other reason),
Google could still seek an injunction. But if the company is willing to license
the technology under FRAND terms, Google has to allow them to do it. All the
consent decree says is that Google will honor their commitments, as Google
promised and as Google says it has been doing, anyway.

Microsoft and their tactics (a pot calling the new clean stainless kettle black when it isn't).

Did we really think that MS calling Google out for Anti- trust when they themselves don't dedicate resources towards open standards, when Google does. MS might think that YouTube should be using Silverlight, and if it doesn't then Google is being unfair?

Or - it's just another of a long list of MS tactics...
