John- Color me confused (what else in new?)

Your definations-
>>>>>
1. WLL-M Operator -- Subgroup of Basic Operators wherein phones are connected wirelessly to the operator, but restricted to work only in a very small geographic area, say a small town or part of a city. I believe the restriction to movement is controlled by not allowing the signal to be handed off to another basestation.

2. Limited Mobility -- Synonym for WLL-M Operator <<<<

Question- Where does Reliance fit into your definitions? From my understanding Reliance is to offer services that serve specific circles (fairly large areas) and a phone issued to a subscriber in that circle could be used anywhere in that circle. It is my understand that a circle is not “a very small geographic area, say a small town or part of a city.” Do I have this all wrong??

Thanks- Jim

The cellular operators ... exercised some civil disobedience, raising the pressure on everyone. They won.


Not sure what you mean by "they won." Is it that they get some money for calls placed to their system? If that's all, how would this affect the popularity of limited mobility?
