I heard that they were after 3.5 in place of GF installs, similar to
their reason for Webpass purchase...

I didn't realize there were other variants :)
The camel thing is used in the bible as a metaphor for something
nearly
impossible. "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a
needle than for a rich man to go to heaven"....or something to that
effect. (I hope nobody here has gotten too rich, we want to see
you on
the other side).
I imagine Reynolds understands the metaphor, but not the
application of
it. He may be right to question it. Google has probably
weighed the
options. .

You can't put 12 pounds of shit in a 10 pound bag.
You can't get 100 gbps in ~100 MHz of spectrum.
