So Motta was right-ASNAP is at least a year away.

The funny thing is that you guys don't get it.

If ASNAP ever works at all, it won't matter. The technology has already been made obsolete. Why in the world would any carrier want to spend the money to install an entire network's worth of so called "ASNAP COMPLIANT" access points and force the user into some off-brand "ASNAP COMPLIANT" handset when they can install a single device at the core of their network and with it any handset that incorporates a WiFi radio can seamlessly roam inside and out, onto WiFi from cellular and back to cellular from WiFi?

Most of the major handset manufacturers are starting to incorporate WiFi into their upper end models and some of the manufacturers have already installed UMA on their own networks to test it. Guess what...people are already doing seamless hand-offs.

But as I predicted, you all have reasons why I am not credible, seem to think that CLYW's own press releases should be considered reference material, and have an interesting hypocracy going about analysts; in that the ones that I spoke with are "high brow", won't talk about anything they don't know everything about and that analysts in general can't be trusted or taken seriously, however, when those analysts are from Frost and Sullivan you suddnenly think they walk on water.

In any case, the facts are the facts and whether someone likes what I have to say or not doesn't change the reality. The thing is, I have nothing to gain by posting, other than the knowledge that I make it a little tougher for disingenuous people to take advatage of others.
