Below is a comment about the IAM Media article from Joff Wild on Linkedin. His comments potentially explain why Liren Chen is not fully committed to Avanci for 5G technology.

My bolded red text added.

Avanci has had a great year, but it could be facing a challenge. As smartphone sales fall and other sectors become more important to big ticket mobile licensors, going it alone in auto 5G to maximise royalty revenues, rather than pooling resources via Avanci's new programme, could start to get more tempting for some. I think that would be a shame and potentially a mistake on several levels, not least from a regulatory perspective, but I can see how it might happen - especially if boardrooms get seriously involved. It strikes me that what Qualcomm decides to do here may be pivotal.
