Tech companies cross license all the time it's not a monopoly. Sony is the most vocal member of the Blu-Ray brigade, but it's not the only one.
Most tech hardware only existing due to the collaborative/competitive industry that it is.
Sometimes it’s zero sum, so nobody pays and they all provide their IP to each other for mutual gain, other times license fees are charged.

This is the first time I have heard somebody state that Sony made the right decision putting Blu-Ray in the PS3. The world is turning.
