for some reason im not expecting that to happen (the open access thingy). also, even if it happens. this is only the usa. ok so its a big market, but does anyone know what that area of frequency is used for in other nations? will a device that have the ability to transmitt on said frequency risk being illegal in other parts of the world? _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
