And what are those motivations? Wouldnt patenting be the most obvious
thing to do?
The typical response was that most ISPs prefer multiple vendors, and a
patented solution will cause issues as the other vendor will not have
that support. Is this the only reason?
No.
This may not be the only reason, but is this a valid reason at all?
Thanks,
Abhishek
