Don't know if this was discussed before.
NEC Corp. breaks ranks with the J's and purchases a licence Feb. 8/07.
That leaves Toshiba, Matsushita, JVC and NEC America.
On Dec. 18/07 NEC America alone is granted a licence the same day the other 3 together are granted a licence.
So this must mean that there are two separate and distinct grants for a licence that NEC Corp. doesn't qualify for. From the looks of things HTC doesn't qualify for a grant either.
More fuel for the fire. Comments/Corrections welcomed.
