[BC] HD Patents

[Tom Taggart]

Radio World reports that:

"the Nov. 1 filing in U. S. District Court in Delaware names Beasley Broadcast Group, CBS Radio, Clear Channel parent CC Media Holdings, Cox Media Group, Cumulus Media, Entercom, Entravision, Greater Media, Hubbard Radio, Radio Disney, Radio One, Saga, Townsquare Media and Univision as defendants in the federal lawsuit."

Given the licensing structure under Ubiquity, I would be surprised if they are not shortly brought into the suit.

This is a particularly nasty  business, suing the end users.  How would any of these companies know whether the equipment they are using infringe a patent?  When it gets down to small business ( as in a suit involving Cisco routers) the practice invites anarchy, and a valid charge of extortion.
