But if we *don't* start going after cell phone users and their phones, we'll be handing them over to the telcos and their HOMOGENIZED content. That's what I (And I think David as well, though of course I'll let him speak for himself :) ) am trying to prevent. > Btw, you saw this thread as encouraging - it isn't.
