No, QED, I think you have it wrong. You recently wrote:

"painful slow upload speeds of just 40-60 kbps, high monthly fees of $80 and maximum speeds could drop as more people use the network. Disadvantages Calypso’s technology does not have."

Can you explain to us how CLYW's technology solves the slow speed and high cost you refer to? You can refer to your own definition of ENABLE and the clip you referenced to see that it does no such thing. It Enables a switch between two services, both of which the user must be subscribed to. So ASNAP allows me to use either the EVDO service I already have and am paying for, or Wi-Fi service I already have and am paying for. A useful technology, sure. Does it get me faster speeds - no - it roams between the same two speeds I already get. Does it save me money - no - it roams between the same two services I am already paying for.

If you believe Wi-Fi is free, then you too are victim to the misrepresentation that the industry (w/ Calypsos help) has been dishing out.

Have you figured out Wi-Fi's upload speeds yet?
