The whole industry is abuzz with this kind of news. Microsoft should buy ASNAP, integrate it in the Windows 8 OS and partner with Qualcomm to integrate the technology into the handset hardware. Combine that with their new SKYPE IP acquisition and offer carriers huge seamless roaming bandwidth offloading to give their Windows 8 phones a fighting chance against the iPhone 5 in the fall.

If they don't do something they are going to flop before they even get out of the gate. They just can't compete with the seamless upgrade path and longevity of iOS without offering carriers and consumers a considerable cost savings.

Sometimes I wonder what folks in this industry are thinking. Carriers would line up at Microsoft's front door to license this technology.

And if Microsoft doesn't buy it, Google or Apple certainly should. Can you imagine the damage if Android or Apple iOS came integrated with seamless roaming. Makes me crazy sometimes thinking about how poorly this IP has been managed over the past 7 years!!!!!!
