What technology did Intel hijack? Intel is doing something that would not get done unless they did it. If it makes the author of the article feel better AMD will surely follow behind Intel as ususal with you know a better solution, of course.

my guess is that it is a lot easier to make "promises" to content providers when you are pretty sure of all the pieces.

corraling a bunch of independent chipset providers and trying to make the same claims would be quite difficult.

where does this leave the other chip makers like AMD and VIA in the Digital Home market? So, the big question is, why does Intel get to hold all the keys to this new technology?

Well, when the author shows me an article voicing concern that TI and Qualcomm dominate the Cellphone market and "where does that leave poor Intel", I may share his concern. Otherwise this is baloney. Let's see, if Intel colaborates with the industry then because of its size takes the initiative, Intel is "stealing". When Intel goes it alone, Intel is self-centered monopoly trying for "world domination". Garbage article.
