12:52 <lkcl> Rob: you may be interested to know of openwifi which has the same goal for 802.11. they were sponsored by NLnet to successfully add 802.11n recently

12:53 <lkcl> also there is *another* NLnet-sponsored project for LTE - https://nlnet.nl/project/4G_FOSS/

12:57 <mkk__> [Mohamed Gaber, skywater-pdk] A 4G modem that is open silicon would be huge for privacy-focused and/or pure FOSS devices.

19:50 <Ultrasauce> how does a foss project like that enter a space dominated by multiple patent pools?

19:58 <Ultrasauce> I guess in the case of openwifi the answer is being backed by qualcomm
