*) Presumably these units will be worse than cell phones in an emergency.
Especially since the 'broadcasters' aren't actually "broad"casting at all.

*) While setup at grandma's may be easy, all of us with forwarded ports
(DHCP disabled) aren't going to have nearly as easy a time.  How the heck am
I supposed to get my 63 bit key into one of these anyway? Type carefully???
