Tech firms reinventing concept of invention

October 29, 2004

And when several companies get together to do research, internal squabbles can develop. For example, two groups of technology companies have been battling over standards for a wireless technology called Ultrawideband, slowing development of the technology, said Michael Cai, an analyst at Dallas research firm Parks Associates.
The Ultrawideband rivalry was so bad that when Parks Associates invited one of the two organizations to a conference, the group demanded that its competitor not be present, Mr. Cai said. "Politics are going to be a major inhibitor for this new model," he said.
