You might start here in understanding the link between Cellular(wireless) and superconductors.

Seems like superconductors have great advantages in use for making very efficient filters for getting more solid cellular connections for us. With the prospect of cellular or wireless being used for internet and business to business net functions, we will need more consistent connections in wireless.
These filters only operate in their best efficiency under very cold temps. So cold environmental enclosures are needed and very expensive.

Either that cost is not going to be as much of a problem now or there is some break through on the near horizon for supercondutor technology that would make these filters efficient at closer to normal room temperatures.

Everytime the operating temp is raised a few degrees these superconductors become more feasable.

Hope this helps,
I am trying to learn also :)

Lots of hype re. ISCO, SCON, and CDTS but is it real?

There is no official news coming out from the companies, no big PR's.

Ditto IDC while I am on this phenomena. IDC is on a roller coaster. Upswing today after going to the cellar from 82.
