CE Manufacturer Interests
Keep Type 2 and Type 1 receivers distinct in product line
- Do not choose technologies that bring Type 1 and Type 2 close in cost and features
If Type 2 and Type 1 products merge:
- Manufacturers must either compete with or use technologies from incumbents of Type 2 market
CE companies want multiple sources for technologies used in Type 1 receivers
IPR royalties for chosen technologies will cut into already small margins
