I think you guys (especially the rat) are missing the important point.
At the risk of more axle-wrapping over semantics, I simply expressed concern over a subject wording that could lead to more hyperbolic rumor-mongering that does nothing but disrupt this place and feed the Engadget Monster. But I won't lose sleep over it.
EDIT: okay, okay, "renamed" doesn't work... I like "absorbed" then.

No offence to the US, but they don't have a mobile network yet ;-)
But seriously, I'm more worried that if they don't it will end up with the EU having some new tech and then them both costing a fortune for large data plans.
"no fun Wednesday", also known as mid-week depression

I think the consortium should have compromised and called the product ClearXohm.

Perhaps a better title would have been:
Xohm is dead; long live Xohm!
Which, though rather non-literal, would have made the entire situation clear by inference.
