Ear to the ground: Suppose you are Nokia and Ericsson or MOT. You have three generations of data over wireless in the pipeline. They will be installed in phases. (I hope you have heard about the Last Mile over the air interface new developments.) You can't persuade your customers -the operators- to change the HW everytime one of these new applications come along.

First you go from voice to data with the GPRS standard. You install a big part of new HW. Then as EDGE comes along, you 'tell' you cards out there to behave according to this new standard.

Then when the 3G is ready, you upgrade your soft-HW to do 3G stuff. You can do that with FPGA's. You can also have a satellite in orbit and tell the HW in it to do some new stuff if they use FPGA's.
