We're designing for North America, but we have some strategic interest outside. If it's deployed internationally, it will have to be in licensed bands. A lot of developing countries would be easier for 'greenfield' development.

We are tremendously grateful to Nissan North America not only for this donation, but for all they have done in support of the recovery effort.

I was born in Sarnia, Ontario; a small town, it's where oil was pretty much discovered in North America.

This is really quite strategic to everything we're doing.

A single base station will handle 30,000 subscribers using 300 minutes per month, based on current cellular-usage models. But we expect to drive a change in usage patterns. Even at 3,600 minutes per month, the system will support 2,500 users.

North America can easily fragment quickly as did the Eastern Bloc in 1989.
