Thanks for the link Maurice! Interesting indeed. The timing of pulses to a billionth of a second though? Imagine the problems of a moving transmitter when relying upon such small time scales. Loran navigational systems use the precise timing of transmissions from two or more synchronized transmitters of known locations to determine position. Various atmospheric conditions can disrupt the expected timing of these signals and cause a boat to be charted on an inland journey. And Loran doesn't even require timing to a billionth of a second, it is old technology. How does Time Domain propose to compensate for time-drift? I noticed in their extensive list of applications, they didn't say "mobile voice and data." I think your investment in Qualcomm is secure for at least a few more years. No need to stock up on sherry (yet). It does sound like a good investment though. I wonder when they will offer an IPO? Perhaps the recent web presence is a precursor to an IPO.
