AT&T rebrands as Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net, hoping to shed its previous reputation as a bad wireless carrier.
My comparison was between the "I'm a" ads, targetted at consumers, and this; it was implied that it was going to be a desktop Linux comparison, not server.
However, you are right.
Windows' insecurity is technical.
... with the damned "I'm a" bullshit? It's getting really old.
I'm a PC! Well I'm a Mac!

How does a patent license allow you to charge for transmitting data over the Internet?
Simple: it doesn't. However, it's a good measure of how much revenue MPEG LA expects you to be bringing in from your use of their standards, and as such is a nice way to scale up licensing fees according to your revenue.
Think of it as a way of implementing this rule: You give us X % of the revenue you bring in from your use of our standard, and in exchange, you can use our standard. If the main use of your company is to deliver solutions based on our standard, this will be X % of your revenue. If you only make incidental use of our standard, your license is going to cost you lower.
(And, of course, if you find something else that's good enough for your purposes and is free or costs less than our standard, you're free to use it.)
