COFDM is not imported technology. The fundamental patents are all
owned by U.S. companies.
ATSC is imported. We let the consumer electronics companies control
the standard setting process. Most of the royalties go to
corporations outside the U.S. (Columbia University and MIT are part
of the royalty pool along with GI/Motorola. The transmission patents
belong to LG).
