Lots of good stuff, some quick reactions - I-mode and MMS is no big deal, will merge fairly soon anyway - there is a difference between public transportation and sitting alone in a car - Tropian seem to too locked into "their ego", slowly changing amplitude and phase (vs carrier frequency) is anyway no big deal, even if it is called "polar" and somehow patented. But maybe they take care in keeping just a small hype-department, while the engineers, carefully hype-isolated, work on a more large scale solution ?? Same with this "compression-hype" I think it is time to replace than "Not-Invented-Here" with something like "Not-Covered-By- Our-Patents-and-Courts" (NCBOPC) Ilmarinen And as Aurelius wrote, and Ollila quoted, it is tough tracking moving, unpredictable, noisy objects, easy to come up with optimal solutions with almost infinite delay,ie., latency vs fantastic super-long-turbo-codes,etc.. One of the really classic "funny things" in theoretic telecommunication, control theory guys usually tend to run into these practical considerations at an early stage, after having tried to predict the weather of tomorrow using the collected and very optimised predictions for last month. (from what I have had time to follow in terms of getting the packets through, at least some in the "GPRS-community" seem to have understood this, as well as the old "no chain is stronger than its weakest link") Anyway, "mother ether-nature" is now giving its final verdict on many "works-good-in-the-lab" things, "we have optimised it for many months" (in the same lab)
