I agree completely. I am counting on most providers having a clean layer
between the apps on the device and the cell systems (whatever they might be)
that makes the the cell connection look like a normal TCP/IP connection.
However, Sales & Marketing wants to do it _now_ and the infrastructure isn't
there so I am looking for options that come close to actually using the cell
systems or that can be sold as being 'close' to what will happen when the
cell systems coverage is better without having too much handwaving and
giving some confidence to the customer watching the demo that the data
movement is not being faked in the boxes involved.
