< if they did it right, you could take advantage of the ide athat Mquarice has, which is to be able to set an algorithm in your phone which took advantage of the lowest priced minutes anywhere you go. Carriers might just be bale to sell more bulk minutes that way to alot bigger customer base. > Tarken thinks it would be easy to do a BREW application which could integrate with some base station software to handle instantaneous real-time pricing and shopping around the carriers for the lowest price. Networks would run at 99% of capacity [or some acceptable noise-determined call quality level] for many hours a day instead of averaging a pitiful 20 to 25% with busy signals at peak times and low usage at night [when people could be cerfing cyberspace instead of using their wireline]. Profits would be huge. Satisfaction for subscribers guaranteed - no busy signals and cheap prices. ZIF is going to be big-time and disproportionately help CDMA rather than GSM.
