<You really think that video streaming will be a must for cars?>

Yes. In fact, it will probably be the most popular. OK kiddies...watch Barney and leave daddy alone.

How many times have you listened to the ballgame over AM radio?

TV doesn't work "on the road" worth a flip.

Tero,

What is the extent of GSM geographic coverage in China & India?

>>GPRS/GSM is the only way to approach telematics in markets like Europe, China and India - because it's the geographical coverage that matters with cars, not population coverage. You get no benefit out of offering a service that does not function on freeways or smaller towns.<<

Caxton to Finland, come in Finland. Internet did not become popular until modems got to 56k. Sprint and Verizon will be there with 144kbs GPS too a heck of a lot sooner than GSM. And yes, we have coverage on roads here in the US too.

Caxton to Finland, what's your argument again?

Cheers,

Caxton
