Kurt, I don't see that as being competitive.
If I read this correctly, this requires the new NextTel handset, which incorporates the UP microbrowser. Basically, this is a specialized phone that has a tiny screen, allowing you to get a limited view of a website/portal.
No VUI, no virtual assistant. Just a new type of phone that can hook into the portal via wireless text display.
Broadly, UP and GMGC compete, since both target phones as a means to access internet content. UP, however, requires these new generations of phones, complete with screen. They don't have a VUI play.
