DASH Standard using Qualcomm's DASH Essential Patents within a standalone software application sold
and distributed separately from a product capable of implementing a WWAN standard, even if this
software application is eventually used on a WWAN device.

Yet, I don't know if Qualcomm is the sole patent owner for DASH.<br></div><div><br>Concerning the purpose of adaptative streaming, just like Brad said, there is the "unpredictible bandwith drop" use case.<br>
</div><br>But, like I said earlier, I am more interested in the P2P streaming useage of DASH : Clients will be able to exchange DASH fragment over WebRTC's Datachannel, so that less bandwith is consumed on the icecast server.<br>

</div>Sure, but if you want to listen to music on a cell phone, you might be<br>
better off using the FM chip :-)<br>
