Simply put, once Calypso catches one big fish, the rest will follow or risk giving their competion a big competitive advantage. Motorola and others have already learned the hard way the price to pay if they fall behind. I was in a coffee shop a few months back when another customer connected to a client on a cell phone, then his call got dropped by the cell tower. He frantically tried to call back and finally got through to learn that in a matter of seconds his competitor got through before him, and got an order for 400,000 gallons of oil. In an instant he lost tens of thousands of dollars. How much do you think he would have paid for ANSAP technology?
