Dear Friends and Industry Colleagues,

There is so much important news and so many things going on in the world of paging that I decided to send this week's issue out a day early.

The content of this "Internet Magazine" has increased considerably, especially this week, so you may want to bookmark this page in your web browser and then come back and read parts of it later. Things are changing so rapidly, it is important that we all stay well informed.

Paging and Wireless Data topics this week:

• Metrocall Acquires WebLink Wireless
• Status Report—Directory of ReFLEX pagers and telemetry modules
• Microsoft SPOT initiative has been delayed
• TGA Technologies restructures
• ZigBee Alliance products start to take off
• Lots of cool products and services
• Another article in the series on TAS issues by Brian Gilmore
• Comments on LNP by Vic Jackson
• More industry news. . . lots more news

Please remember that with the new layout, news and commentaries now extend all the way to the end of the newsletter. As always, your opinions and suggestions are welcome.

More effort has gone into preparing this issue than any other. I hope that you enjoy it. If you do, please recommend it to a friend or co-worker.

If anyone would like to make additions or corrections to the two-way product directory, please do—it is for the good of our whole community.

A new issue of the Paging and Wireless Data Newsletter gets posted on the web each week. A notification goes out by e-mail to subscribers on most Fridays around noon Eastern US time. The notification message has a link to the actual newsletter on the Internet. That way it doesn't fill up your incoming e-mail account.

There is no charge for subscription and there are no membership restrictions. Readers are a very select group of wireless industry professionals, and include the senior managers of many of the world's major paging and wireless data companies. There is an even mix of operations managers, marketing people, and engineers, so I try to include items of interest to all three groups. It's all about staying up-to-date with business trends and technology.

I regularly get reader's comments, so this newsletter has become a community forum for the paging, and wireless data communities. You are welcome to contribute your ideas and opinions. Unless otherwise requested, all correspondence addressed to me is subject to publication in the newsletter and on my website.

NOTE: This newsletter is best viewed at screen resolutions of 800x600 (good) or 1024x768 (better). Any current revision of web browser should work just fine. Please notify me of any problems with viewing. This site is compliant with XHTML 1.0 transitional coding for easy access from wireless devices. (XML 1.0 / ISO 8859-1)

Microsoft SPOT delayed

At the Consumer Electronics Show in January of this year, Bill Gates announced that Microsoft was entering the paging business. Their new wireless initiative is called SPOT (Smart Personal Object Technology) and will include many of the types of products and applications that I frequently mention in this newsletter. This service, and these products were to become available "in the fall of 2003."

Retailers had looked forward to having SPOT-enabled watches available for this year's Christmas shopping season, but according to news clips following in this issue, the technology is still "in testing" and estimates for its availability vary from "no comment" to "postponed until early 2004."

My reports in January, about the feasibility of this project, were not very positive. I pointed out that there have been several significant efforts to use FM-subcarrier transmission for wireless data and paging in the past, but that they had all failed. I still believe that it was a very unfortunate decision to choose FM sub-carrier technology. My reasons are explained in detail in two of my January newsletters: SPOT report no. 1 and SPOT report no. 2.

The summary of my comments in these two reports is simply that the FM-subcarrier transmission, that Microsoft has chosen, will never work well unless they have some new digital technology up their sleeve. This is a shame because all their products and marketing ideas have wonderful potential, it is just that their method of delivering the wireless information is flawed. Ironically there are two or three nation-wide FLEX and ReFLEX paging networks, already in place and working well, that they could use to make SPOT a big success.

If ever there was a perfect match, this is it. An alliance with Microsoft is just what the paging industry needs, and Microsoft certainly needs our help with their SPOT initiative.

ReFLEX Device Status Report and Directory
For several years we have tried to drop the term pager and replace it with messaging receiver or messaging device in the case of two-way, but for most people the simpler word pager still works the best. I am pleased to report that several new ReFLEX pagers are coming out in the next six to seven months. All the new products are supposed to be compliant with the newest ReFLEX specification 2.7.x and are compatible with the existing ReFLEX 2.6 networks.
November 16, 2003 6:38:08 PM PalmSource today announced that PerComm, a leading manufacturer of ReFLEX messaging devices, has licensed the Palm OS platform. Through the agreement, PerComm plans to integrate Palm OS 5 to create new smart mobile devices that operate on wireless networks including ReFLEX, GSM and CDMA. [Full press release follows below.]	One of them is already here, as reported a couple of weeks ago. It is the new Percomm e80 ReFLEX 2.7 pager. The design of this device started at Glenayre Electronics and was then acquired by Percomm where it was completed. Industry sources indicate that the "big three" ReFLEX network operators have all certified (or are about to) this device for use on their systems. Percomm is located in Woburn, Massachusetts. They call it a "2-Way Pager."
	Percomm's website also shows this OMNIDATA-branded OEM ReFLEX telemetry module. I am not sure about the current status of this product (production/development).
	Two products from HuneTec are expected. The president, CEO, and founder of HuneTec is the highly respected Mr. Young-Han Youn who was also the cofounder of Standard Telecom — the parent corporation of Nixxo, in South Korea. One will be a ReFLEX-enabled wireless PDA (personal digital assistant) running the popular Palm OS® Platform, and the other, a proprietary design without the licensed Palm OS. I have seen these and they look very good. They call it the "Two-way Personal Communicator."
	Other hot new products are expected from Sun Telecom International with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. They have two Wireless Messaging Devices on their web site, the S-935 shown here, which is based on the Linux OS. They call it a "2-Way Messaging Device."
	And the S-900 shown here.
	Another player, the off-again-on-again-gone-again Hoseo Telnet (pronounced HO-SAW) also in South Korea, may very well finally bring a product to market some time next year. Their former rep, John Park in New York, mysteriously quit answering everyone's phone calls several months ago, but the development of their products has continued. I guess they call it the "e-mailer" since that is what it says on the screen.
	I believe they have continued work on their OEM telemetry module as well. I saw prototypes of these products over two years ago.
	KARLI WIRLKI For telemetry and messaging applications where power saving and size are essential. Supported by all ReFLEX networks. (According to the manufacturer.) This is a mature product and has been available for a while.
	BARRAN ReFLEX Radio Module for normal, general-purpose telemetry applications. This is a mature product and has been available for a while.
	The Advantra KEPLER incorporates a GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) module with one of their ReFLEX modules to provide an OEM product that will allow developers to build a complete tracking device. This is evidently named after Johannes Kepler, the German astronomer, mathematician, and scientist who was the first to correctly explain planetary motion, thereby, becoming founder of celestial mechanics. Modern satellite tracking is based on Kepler's formulas.
	This is an Advantra ReFLEX product with only the designation of "EP7312" given on their web site. They call it a "2-way messaging device." I suspect this is something new.
	This is the Advantra "Palmnet System Eyepalm" from their web site. Another "2-way messaging device." I suspect this is something new.
	This in an early-model Advantra ReFLEX pager that did not include all the two-way functions. There were several of these excellent one-and-a-half-way pagers on the market before the "full-two-way" models came out with complete keyboards. Its current production status is unknown.
	CreataLink® 2XT Data Transceiver The CreataLink 2XT data transceiver is being utilized in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Latin America. The original product was developed by Motorola Inc. SmartSynch acquired the CreataLink 2XT from Motorola in 2001. This is the product that started the ReFLEX telemetry business.
The "naysayers" who think paging is dead, will surely find all this new product development activity very interesting. Please note that these new devices will have significantly lower prices than the comparable Motorola two-way products had, they have more memory, more features, and all have rechargeable batteries. Even non-OS devices have the ability to pre-load, backup, and restore address books—a big advantage for enterprise customers. The lower device and airtime prices compared to other wireless technologies, such as cell phones, mean that ReFLEX has a broad appeal to businesses. This is all very good news for the two-way paging industry. [Naysayer: someone with an aggressively negative attitude.]

Telephone Answering Services and Paging (4)

On behalf of ATSI, I'd like to thank Brad Dye for his kind assistance and the entire paging community for the warm response we've received to these articles (article 1, article 2, and article 3). Frankly, we were somewhat concerned that our proposed three tier approach to dealing with HIPAA might be confusing:

1. In cases where medical service clients have concluded they do not need to transmit PHI wirelessly, no further action may be necessary.

2. When the medical service provider transmits some telephone message data that does not constitute substantial PHI, we believe HHS should clarify that encryption is not required.

3. To the extent that some medical service providers will need to exchange PHI via wireless text messaging, we encourage a simple and low cost solution for PHI security.

But your comments have made it apparent that this approach is being well received. Some of you have contacted me to express support for a closer alliance between our industries and to offer encouragement to explore these issues further. We agree!

One person described the ATSI suggestions as a "common sense" approach and that is certainly the way we have tried to address the entire HIPAA issue in order to build as broad a consensus as possible. We are also grateful to know that the challenges raised by HIPAA are already very much on the mind of so many in the paging industry, with much discussion and planning in progress.

More than one company has indicated support for the kind of low cost and simple infrastructure solution we described last week. That hypothetical solution has evolved from our discussions with a number of people in the paging industry and it reflects our best good faith effort to find a solution that works well for both the paging and the TAS industries. We hope to publish a conceptual diagram and an improved description in the near future.

Some have asked about subscriber device and infrastructure solutions in development or that may already exist. Although several companies have generously shared some of their thinking and planning for wireless text messaging security, we'll all have to wait for official product announcements. My best advice is to stay in touch with your vendors and watch for announcements from other industry vendors. We will not endorse any particular product or vendor, but we will be sharing our input on a general direction that we think makes sense for all stakeholders.

One person asked about further online resources for his own research on HIPAA. We recommend these links at the US Department of Health and Human Resources (HHS). This is the text of the actual HIPAA statute. The HHS site contains links to numerous additional resources, including the two most significant documents that our Covered Entity medical customers must comply with: the HIPAA Privacy Rule, and the Security Rule. Finally, one of the most useful documents published by HHS offers very practical and readable HHS guidance on the privacy rule and specifically addresses the issue of common carriers and their "conduit" status under HIPAA.

We've also had some inquiries about our call for developers to create software for use at many TAS/call centers. This software would adapt legacy TAS systems to securely deliver text message to wireless text messaging providers. We expect a technical reference standard will be created by participants in the forthcoming ATSI Telemessaging Wireless Forum (TWF). This will provide the software development community at large and TAS system vendors with a useful blueprint to enable practical and secure transmission from TAS systems to carrier networks. We are aware that there are some TAP gateway products already in existence that may meet some of the needs of the TAS industry and we encourage the developers of those programs to participate at the TWF to ensure their product meets the rapidly changing needs of TAS/call centers.

A couple of readers have expressed some surprise to read that the Telephone Answering Service industry and radio common carriers share some of the same history. I can offer a little online evidence of that shared history: curious readers may want to read a couple of articles carried by Wireless Week in recent years. Here is a 1999 history of Louisiana-based Radiofone shortly before the company became a part of SBC and part one and part two of some excerpts from RCC industry veteran Clayton Niles' autobiography. I've not had the privilege of meeting the people in those online articles, but their stories are similar to those of a number of communications pioneers I've worked with and met in the TAS, paging and mobile communications industries.

I'll return with another article in a couple of weeks with more information about the forthcoming ATSI Telemessaging Wireless Forum (TWF) and how your company can participate.

This is the fourth in a short series of articles in this newsletter about the TAS industry and its relationship to the paging industry prepared by Brian Gilmore of Fallon Communications on behalf of the Association for TeleServices International (ATSI) - the international trade association for telephone answering services. These articles are part of an initiative by the TAS industry to work more closely with the paging industry to improve service to our mutual clients, especially those in the medical services community. You can read more about ATSI at www.atsi.org. Contact Brian Gilmore via atsibdn@falloncommunications.net.

PAGING CARRIERS OPPOSE CALIFORNIA SERVICE OVERLAY AREA CODES

In a joint filing at the FCC on Monday, November 17, 2003, AAPC, Allied, Arch, Metrocall and WebLink registered their firm opposition to the request of the California PUC for permission to establish two Service Overlay area codes that would together cover the entire state of California. The PUC proposed that certain technology-specific numbers, including paging, voice over internet protocol and dial-up internet service, as well as certain "non-geographic" number, e.g., ATMs, be drawn from the Service Overlay codes; and in certain circumstances not specifically defined by the PUC, the existing numbers utilized for these types of services would be subject to a "takeback" and replaced by numbers from the new codes.

The joint filing argued that the California proposal did not represent genuine area code relief, as required by the FCC; and that it did not justify why permanent, rather than transitional overlay codes should be approved, or why waivers of 10-digit dialing normally required for overlays would be warranted, or why takebacks of any existing numbers should be permitted. The filing concluded that California's inclusion of paging numbers in its overlay proposal unjustifiably discriminates against the paging industry and disregards entirely the substantial adverse economic consequences of including non-pooling industries like paging carriers in overlay codes that would cover on the order of 10 to 15 geographic area codes.

AAPC SUPPORTS EXTENSION OF MEDICAL TELEMETRY TRANSITION

AAPC has filed comments with the FCC supporting continuation of the current "freeze" on filing application for full power private land mobile radio stations on the 12.5 kHz "splinter" frequencies adjacent to the Part 90 462 MHz Private Carrier Paging channels, and supporting an indefinite extension of the time for migrating medical telemetry stations currently operating on those frequencies to the Wireless Medical Telemetry Service. AAPC argued that continuation of the current freeze and transition period is necessary to prevent interference to paging receivers operating 12.5 kHz removed on the 462 MHz Private Carrier Paging channels, and to comply with the requirements of a 1993 federal statute mandating comparability of technical standards between Part 22 and Part 90 paging channels.

With all of the hoopla about wireless number portability, listed below are some Number Portability Questions

November 21, 2003

By Vic Jackson, Interconnection Services, Inc.
E-mail address:

Wireless Number Portability goes into effect next Monday, November 24, 2003 for the top 100 markets in the USA. Carriers of all sorts are anxiously holding their collective breaths in anticipation of how their customers will relate to the new regime that allows them to change service providers and keep their phone number(s). There has been much speculation by the wireless industry, grumbling by the landline carriers and some polling of customers to try to gain an understanding of who is going to do what starting on November 24. Billions of telecommunications dollars are at stake. As is usual in such an undertaking, the kinks are still being worked out for some aspects of this monumental change in the landline-wireless telephone industry. Is the hype going to equal the realities of customer expectations and practical limitations? Ask this question again in a couple of weeks and the answers may be most astonishing.

As my contribution to all of this excitement, here are some out-of-the-ordinary number porting questions that come to mind.

How many people will port their home phone number to an existing wireless phone?

Most of the talk about wireless number portability assumes either a current wireless subscriber changing to another wireless carrier or a landline customer changing to a new wireless service. However, it seems logical that many existing cell phone users will want to simply eliminate the existing landline and its expense, and transfer the number to their existing cell phone. The obvious question is; how much will the wireless company charge to do this, assuming the customer does not change the existing wireless service in any way? This kind of a number port will reveal the true costs of number porting since the ported-to wireless company has to arrange for a number port but does not gain any new services.

If you have DSL service on an existing landline, can you port the phone number (and therefore not have telephone service) on that line to a wireless phone and still keep your DSL service?

Keep in mind that a telephone line carries the DSL signal, but whether the line has a number assigned to it is not germane to the DSL service. It will be interesting to see how the landline local exchange companies handle this situation. For instance, the logical answer would be to have a charge for the line but not the telephone service (dial tone). It appears this situation would save considerably on telephone service taxes and fees.

How do you get your landline phone number ported to your wireless phone and retain a listing in the local phone book?

Ostensibly, in the USA, the telephone directory lists only landline numbers, but will number portability change this situation?

Could you port your existing landline phone number to a wireless phone and then get a new number for your landline phone?

This porting request and change of landline telephone numbers would occur for those folks who want to use their cell phone as their main contact number yet retain a landline phone for other uses such as dial-up Internet service.

If you port your landline number to a wireless phone and then later want to port the number back to a landline phone, does it have to go back to the original wire or rate center?

Currently, the rules for porting from landline to wireless are not the same as the rules for porting from wireless to landline. Under some scenarios, you could conceivably port a landline number to wireless and then not be able to port the same number back to its original rate center or wire center.

Can you port your landline or wireless phone number to someone else?

Currently, the billing account name can be changed on an existing account that has one or more telephone numbers. But what happens when the billing account name listed with the ported to company is different than the billing account name on the existing number being ported?

How will number portability affect the ownership of numbers by individuals?

Previously, phone numbers could be changed at any time by the phone company and were not considered the property of the user. For example, area code splits sometimes require changing both the area code and the office code of some users. Additionally, in some cases, wireless phone numbers have been treated differently than landline phone numbers in area code splits. If I can port my number between service providers, does that mean I have some ownership privileges in the number being ported?

Metrocall Acquires Weblink

Transaction Creates Financially Strong, Multifaceted Industry Leader

Alexandria, VA, Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - Metrocall Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: MTOH), the nation's second largest paging and wireless messaging company, today announced that it has acquired the substantial majority of the operating assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of Weblink Wireless, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries. Metrocall and Weblink have also entered into a Management and Spectrum Lease Agreement under which Weblink will provide certain services and lease to Metrocall the spectrum usage rights granted under FCC licenses pending the FCC’s approval of the transfer of such licenses to Metrocall.

As consideration for these transactions, Metrocall has issued to Weblink 500,000 shares of its common stock and will issue warrants to purchase up to an additional 125,000 shares of common stock at $40 per share. 25,000 warrants were issued at the closing. 100,000 additional warrants have been granted (subject to a 25,000 per year vesting) in consideration for Weblink’s services under the Management and Spectrum Lease Agreement but the vesting of such warrants will accelerate upon the transfer of the FCC licenses.

Metrocall’s marketing and distribution focus is on direct sales and B2B accounts. Weblink is the nation’s fifth largest wireless messaging and paging provider and is the number one provider to large strategic VARs. The combined company will serve approximately 3.7 million subscribers on one of the industries most comprehensive 1-way and 2-way wireless messaging networks. Metrocall and Weblink’s networks have been connected and partially integrated for some time as Metrocall offered 2-way paging services over Weblink’s 2-way network and ultimately became Weblink’s largest customer.

“This transaction culminates several years of partnering with Weblink on many paging and advanced messaging initiatives,” said Vincent D. Kelly, Metrocall’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The acquisition joins together Weblink’s premiere two-way messaging network, wholesale carrier business and telemetry operations with Metrocall’s nationwide sales and distribution presence, expansive wireless products portfolio and emphasis on customer service. We believe that the acquisition supports our focus on revenue retention, cost containment and cash generation. We welcome Weblink’s carrier customers and subscribers to Metrocall and intend to continue to provide them with the “first-class” airtime and customer service they are accustomed too.”

“We are pleased to combine our messaging networks and organizations so that the Industry’s leading strategic resellers can be served with an even more comprehensive array of network and support services,” said N. Ross Buckenham, President and CEO of Weblink Wireless, Inc. “Metrocall’s strong financial performance and balance sheet, further enhanced by this transaction, provides our employees, customers and vendors with a solid business partner as we move forward delivering cost effective and reliable wireless communications services.”

About Metrocall, Inc.

1-Way Paging Subcommittee – An Overview

by Alan Carle, Director of Engineering, Northeast Paging / UCOM

As you probably know, the Paging Technical Committee (PTC) has been around for many years solving problems and working to create standards that carriers and vendors within the Paging community use everyday. And, being comprised of a cross section of carriers and vendors, their activities mirrored the needs of the members. So, it was only natural that the PTC's activities begin to migrate more toward 2-Way paging concerns as this newer technology began to take hold several years ago.

At the January, 2003 meeting in Tampa, it was proposed that a new committee be formed that focused solely on 1-Way paging concerns. The idea was to "identify and address technical issues of 1-Way paging carriers in today’s market place."

Well, the proposal was voted in, I was "elected" chair of the new subcommittee and suddenly "1-way paging concerns" began flowing my way – quite a few in fact!

The first pressing issue to work on was the FCC’s initiative to promote the development and use of spectrum efficient technologies - an effort often referred to as "Refarming." The effort would see a halving of the bandwidth of Part 90 "PCP" channels as well as new restrictions on transmitters and pagers. Both business and technical leaders of the paging industry agreed the affects of these changes, if allowed to occur, could be devastating. The 1-Way committee helped to create technical arguments opposing this initiative, which were then added to the filing for exemption on behalf of the paging industry. As of this writing we are waiting to hear from legal council in Washington on what the next step might be.

Overwhelming, I think, the next pressing issue became the "need for better 1-way pagers"– a seemingly innocuous issue, until we started digging into it. What, exactly, did carriers want? Better quality? Better RF performance? More features? Fewer features? Durability? Lower costs? Maybe all of the above? Our first reaction was to try to create a new set of standards for 1-way pagers. Perhaps, "if we define a better pager, and manufacturers build it, carriers will buy it." After awhile, it dawned on us that 1) this is a much bigger job that we initially thought and 2) we're not even sure what carriers want!

So, we decided to create a questionnaire in an attempt to canvass the paging community. This project is well underway and should be launched before the end of the year. It will consist of a form that lives on the AAPC/PTC web site. Many questions are answered with a click of the mouse and ample room is available to write essay type answers if desired. Carriers, resellers and in some cases, customers, will be encouraged to visit the site and fill out the form. The data accumulated from this will, we hope, give us clues on where to head next with this. Also, we hope to have results before the next PTC meeting in the spring.

And finally, as is often the case, this project led us to another—a National Paging Carrier Directory. How long has it been since we've seen a comprehensive up to date listing of our industry? A long time I think. So, we've developed a plan to scour the country side looking for paging carriers, both 1 and 2-way. Once found, they will be asked to visit the AAPC/PTC site to fill out an even easier form. We are not interested in listing how many subscribers a carrier has, or other confidential type information. But, rather, who the top management people are, what products and services are being offered, what frequencies are in use and where.

The 1-Way committee membership is comprised of (5) 1-way carrier members, (5) 2-way carrier members, (3) industry "consultant" members and (8) vendors. We also have several other irons in the fire like keeping an eye on HIPAA regulations; staying in communications with the ATSI folks; promote telemetry type products and applications for 1-way carriers and general education.

Ember's EM2420 RF Solution Unlocks New Range of Wireless Monitoring and Management Applications

Ember joins forces with Norway's Chipcon to develop first widely available, cost-effective RF solution complying with new wireless standards for applications such as building automation.

BOSTON, Nov 17, 2003 — Ember Corporation today released the first widely available, low-cost 2.4GHz /250Kbps RF solution that complies with the new IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The 802.15.4 standard makes wireless communication possible in demanding environments, such as building and industrial automation, asset management and national defense. Ember will be demonstrating the EM2420 at the Nov. 19 ZigBee Alliance Open House in San Jose, CA.

Developed jointly with Oslo, Norway-based semiconductor design and manufacturing company Chipcon, the EM2420 is the first product to give companies all the essential elements for developing 802.15.4 compliant wireless applications in an integrated package. The 802.15.4 radio standard is designed to support low-cost, low power, interoperable wireless networking applications for remotely monitoring and controlling anything from a child's toy to a sprawling manufacturing facility to the wear and tear on a bridge.

The EM2420 was developed with embedded engineers in mind, implementing all the time-critical functions in hardware and designed to interface to any low-cost microcontroller. This allows designers and manufacturers to build economical but high performance systems.

Advance Transformer Company, a division of Philips Electronics and a leader in the digital ballast arena, is looking to technology like the EM2420 to help drive new initiatives in the lighting industry.

Advance Transformer is spearheading the next generation of wireless digital lighting control and is working closely with technology partners like Ember to make its vision a reality. Wireless networks built on the EM2420 are orders of magnitude cheaper to deploy and maintain than hard-wired networks. Corporations can use EM2420-enabled wireless applications for controlling building systems such as lighting, HVAC, and security as part of the integrated building envelope.

Space Data plans nationwide wireless data services with new spectrum

Nov. 20, 2003 12:57 PM EST

Space Data Corp. announced it scored 262.5 kilohertz of nationwide spectrum in the recent Federal Communications Commission 900 MHz band spectrum auction, which the company said it would use to continue its rollout of its weather balloon-based wireless data telemetry services.

"This is extraordinarily valuable 'real estate,'" said Gerald Knoblach, the company's chairman and chief executive officer. "Because our spectrum is contiguous nationwide, it allows us to deliver ubiquitous nationwide wireless data services. We can offer our customers and partners unprecedented access, particularly in the 70 percent of the continental U.S. not served by wireless towers. The only comparable service in remote areas is provided by satellite systems, which are inherently far less cost effective than our SkySite-based service."

Space Data said it now owns more than 1.7 megahertz of narrowband PCS spectrum, which the company said is more than half of the total spectrum available for narrowband PCS use in the United States.

The company is offering wireless data services—mainly for telemetry and machine-to-machine communications—using Motorola Inc.'s ReFLEX two-way paging technology. The company's wireless repeaters are stationed 100,000 feet above the ground in modified weather balloons, which the company said allows one such platform to cover an area the size of Oklahoma.

"During the past three years, we have raised capital, completed research and development, acquired spectrum and received all necessary government approvals," Knoblach said. "The field tests of our live network are complete, and we are now ramping up production for our customers."

MSNDirect SPOT Watch Delayed till Early 2004 Posted on Wednesday, October 29 @ 22:36:11 CST by i4u We recently posted about the Fossil Microsoft Wrist Net MSNDirect SPOT Watch and the Suunto N3 Microsoft SPOT Watch. It looked like the SPOT watches would become available still this Holiday Season. Now we got word that both SPOT watches are postponed till "Early 2004". We do not know the reason, maybe the service was not going to be ready or manufacturing problems with the watches. The MSNDirect SPOT watches could have been great Gadgets for this Christmas season.

Clock ticks for Web on a wristwatch

November 10, 2003, 11:58 AM PST

Those who want to receive information from the Internet through a wristwatch or fridge magnet may have to wait a little longer.

Microsoft's Smart Personal Objects Technology (SPOT), which the company unveiled last year right before the Comdex trade show, is still in testing, according to a company representative, who declined to give an estimated release date. Microsoft earlier said the technology would be launched in the fall.

SPOT seeks to remove any headaches or impediments involved in getting online. With SPOT, Internet data can be broadcast over a nationwide FM radio network to wristwatches, personal digital assistants, refrigerators and other devices. Conceivably, a SPOT-enabled alarm clock could publish the latest headlines when it wakes up its owner.

The data feed will adjust for travel, so that a traveler who flies from Seattle to San Jose, Calif., will start getting California weather reports when he or she gets off the plane, Rich Rashid, senior vice president of Microsoft Research said.

Watchmakers Fossil and Suunto have said they will release SPOT devices, while Microsoft will market a service, called MSN Direct, that will provide the data feed for a $9.95 monthly fee. Microsoft is testing the project in eight metropolitan areas in North America, but the plan is to have the network blanket 100 cities on the continent.

National Semiconductor is making the chipsets for the project.

FTC issues fine to RF blockers

Nov. 18, 2003 12:21 PM EST

WASHINGTON—The Federal Trade Commission Monday said two New York firms that claimed their devices blocked harmful radiation from cell phones and other electronic gadgets agreed to pay $85,000 to settle charges brought against them by U.S. officials.

Tecnozone International L.L.C. and Tecnozone America L.L.C. advertised that their product—costing $49.99—provided substantial protection from electromagnetic energy emitted from cell phones. The defendants, according to the FCC, also claimed the effectiveness of their devices was validated by studies at major European universities. The FTC alleged that the defendants' claims were false and unsubstantiated.

In addition to monetary penalty, the settlement with the FTC prohibits the two companies from making any claims about a product's ability to reduce exposure to, or prevent penetration of, electromagnetic energy unless the claims are true, and they have competent and reliable scientific evidence to substantiate such claims.

The settlement was filed in federal court in New York last Friday. The accord is subject to court approval.
