Yeah that's the catch. It's actually kind of odd. Telcos are so known for demanding the best of the best from their hardware/software vendors, but in this case the weakest link to actually using SMS is the telco. Doesn't make sense to me.
Well, the SPOT technology has to have something cooler than news/weather/traffic reports. What could it be? I wonder if the technology is precise enough to do proximity based information.
