Smart radios represent a new paradigm. They allow creation of wireless networks that can accomodate all the competing access protocols and receive signals over a broad band of frequencies. Current technology restricts the network deliberately to a profitably proprietary and exclusive system, and FCC policy assigns exclusive frequency bands rather than permitting radios that can scan widely and share a range of bands. Since noone is building smart broadband networks today, Steinbrecher et al are chasing niches, such as Third World wireless local loop central offices and dual use European applications. But in the end smart radios will prevail because they ride Moore's Law and will be radically cheaper than current solutions. FCC policy is also moving toward unlicenced bands with shared spectrum. It is the future, but sometimes, alas, the future lags.
