 As I recall, FCC selected Magnavox, and Kahn sued.
 Because Kahn's suit effectively negated the selection
 of Magnavox, Motherola went into full production and
 distribution of CQUAM receiver chips.
 By the time the dust was settling on the law suits, there
 were many, many radios out there that could receive
 CQUAM, but few that could receive anything else.
 Hence, Motorola won by default, and Kahn kept kicking
 about it for years, even though he could not produce
 any receivers.
