Nextreaming Reports Qualcomm to Fair Trade Commission
Nextreaming asserted that its business had been interrupted by Qualcomm’s infringement of Korea's competition law. Dr. Il-Taek Lim, president & CEO of Nextreaming said, “Qualcomm has been doing tie-in sales by packaging QTV codec, a property of MSM™ chipsets, to QTV™ application program. This kind of practice apparently blocks off competitors as it abuses the monopolized market leadership.”
The Qualcomm QTV™ consists of Qtv™, Qvideophone™, Qcamcorder™ and Qcamera™, conflicting with Nextreaming’s NexPlayer™, NexFace2Face™ and NexCam™. According to Lim, Nextreaming suffers from an unfair business infringement through Qualcomm’s tie-in sales.
“Qualcomm should discontinue this practice right away as it infringes on chipset buyers’ rights to select programs at their own will. “ Lim said, “They want to have a wide variety of selections for fair and unbiased competition opportunities. Unless the exclusionary practice is corrected, Qualcomm will eat out the mobile phone software market in a near future as it did in the CDMA modem chip market.”
Meanwhile, the mobile multimedia functions run upmarket nowadays for better handset performances, and this enlivens embedded multimedia solutions. To this end, Nextreaming copes with the market requirement by providing key embedded mobile multimedia solutions such as NexPlayer™ (Media Player), NexTV™ (DMB/DVB-H Solution), NexFace2Face™ (Video Telephony), NexCam™ (Camera and Camcorder), etc.
He added: “We’ve been contributing to the development and evolution of the mobile multimedia technology. Nextreaming will go at full tilt to maximize the competitiveness of handset manufacturers through the open and fair competition in the supply market.”
