The thin part is great, but they need to find a way to produce OLEDs TVs that are bigger. Even for hard core geeks like me, I don't want an 11 inch TV. And it's hard to produce a 42" OLED.
This article shows the interesting dynamics of corporations, but I think the bigger story here is that Intel has been trying to push WiMax for years and years now. WiMax on every laptop was supposed to happen in 2005! And one of the original benefits of WiMax was supposed to be that the operators could run it on unlicensed frequencies - which would avoid these types of licensing issues.
But it's not at all clear that WiMax will win in the end. Intel still has to drive the price point low enough for there to be mass adoption, and they need many carriers have to adopt the model before consumers will care. It's a classic case of the chicken and egg problem.
