That's probably true from the perspective of what's going into
production (and what'll sell more hbas). However, with 4G getting
more common there's going to be a lot of spare 2Gs around and cheap
to pick up. So to get more people using / testing comstar, 2G support
would make for a lower barrier to get started.
