Don't all cell phone 'standards' (yeah, that's a joke :-) need to support
GPS location reporting within the next few years? Of course if there is no
cell-coverage at all this doesn't work. Even Nextel uses a cell tower to
connect phones 'directly', right?
It would probably be tricky to buy less than 10.000 units of these chipsets
but maybe a sample or two could be had.
