That you for using Skype. That too is delivering me money via son who works for skype.livedoor.com [he pays interest on business loan]. Skype is averaging 10,000 downloads an hour - what a phenomenon. Anyone not using it is missing out on a good thing. The network effect is super-powerful. Google might be an also-ran by comparison because even the ignorant, who don't want to ask Google stuff, will want to communicate = human attribute first before all except water, food, air, warmth and not being eaten. roamad.com though it's still very much a start-up company and almost certainly will pay me via a CDMA/WiFi phone royalty and maybe ASIC purchase [not to mention BREW, gpsOne, radioOne, Eudora etc]. has had it's day. TDMA encoding is simply too inefficient to enable the number of people who want to use a lot of data to squeeze into the spectrum.
