In its complaint filed this week in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Huawei said T-Mobile is using its patented technology without signing a licensing agreement.' At least this is the most likely scenario to result in patent reform, finally.]]> patents east-texas huawei t-mobile telecoms law https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:91fcd568f0c3/ 2012-01-05T22:41:48+00:00 https://grepular.com/Punching_through_The_Great_Firewall_of_TMobile jm china filtering rst internet iptables t-mobile uk payg mobile-internet https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:c53894cccffc/
