OK... but people talked about the need to subscribe to a service. Or is
the point that Qualcomm require you to subscribe to _their_ service in
order to get a driver which loads data into their chips?

Words fail me.

IMO, we should still stand up this service, if it's not difficult. That
means that if people do manage to reverse-engineer the protocols, or if
chipsets arrive without this limitation, we can just plug the data
straight in. As it is, if someone works out how to do it now, they don't
have a data source.
