Census Results: 118 (or so) after one day.

Herb,
There is no fee. You get up to 2 MB of space for free. They require
a valid e-mail address and ask a bunch of marketing questions. So they are presumably following the Yahoo/AOL method of selling targeted advertising.

Just to stay a bit on topic. Does anyone know of companies selling wireless modems for embedded applications? I'm talking about the scenario where every vending machine will have a "cell phone" installed in it so that the Coca-cola delivery man knows exactly when to go refill it.

With Globalstar coming on line soon, I think these embedded applications could be paired with GPS systems to provide truly world wide tracking and communication with embedded controllers. I'm thinking that over the next 5-10 years that this could be a huge market for Qualcomm. After all, the market for personal cell phones is limited to the number of people on the planet.
