Thank you. It will be nice if we extend the definition of "phone" to
include any communications system (including high fidelity systems):
networked computer (a.k.a. PC with web connection)
portable audio receiver (a.k.a. AM/FM radio)
portable video receiver (a.k.a. VHF/UHF battery-powered TV)
home audio receiver (a.k.a. home hi-fi stereo)
home audio transmitter/receiver (a.k.a. speakerphone)
home video receiver (a.k.a. television)
home video transmitter/receiver (a.k.a. videophone)
mobile phone (a.k.a. full dux two-way radio)
Somehow, I forgot to use the word "office" above. Maybe those will
be things of the past if the G3 spec allocates enough bandwidth?
I wonder if there will be G3 digital equivalents of "scanners"? My
guess: no, because the communication channels will be encrypted from
end to end using MEMS within the intercell transport infrastructure.
