Think of it like this - Just another point of view:)
What happens when you try to get a GPS signal or a cell phone signal through 100 tons of rock, dirt, and other natural or man made material? Not sure?
Think the various governments throughout the world have the technology already? Could be possible, but I doubt it.
Let's take the United States Government for starters - If they do, then why when you visit the Pentagon, Ft. Knox, Ft. Polk, Luke Air Force Base, and any of the other countless facilities the U.S. Military has, you loose cell phone service and in many cases, have black out of dead spots where a GPS satelite can only produce general location and not exact pinpointed locations. If in any underground section in any facility, military or not, and I have been in several, try using a land line - you are not getting located by GPS or getting cell phone service unless you are going to place a 5 ton transmitter with an underground tower that extends to above ground - oh yeah - and if there is an accident and that tower or transmitter is damaged - kiss the wireless communications goodbye!
IMO - this is very old technology that has been restructured to be devlivered in a very different kind of way that is compact and set up to operate under the most extreme circumstances - and yes that does make for 'patented technology'. You do not have to change the technology that is existing, but if you can develope a new kind of delivery system - one could classify the system as 'patented technology'.
As far as dealing with China first to establish the set up of this system - VERY SMART MOVE IMO!!! If the Chinese government approved the JV and have given the green light for this to go - this means a lot of red tape has been gone through already and unless something ABSOLUTELY CRAZY HAPPENS - this will go through. China is a hot spot for watch dog groups for human rights. Being able to implement this system and say they were the 'First' to implement it for their workers is a huge thing for them. It politically means more to them than it does to say a country like the USA because much of how China is viewed is in political terms sometimes more so than financial or structural. This is just all IMO! - Hope this makes sense. Again Just IMO - Everyone should do their own DD before making any purchase for anything!!
