Rick,

 

My reaction was the same. The thing that really caught my eye though was that Intel put in €10 million for what seems to be a real long shot.

I read that last week and my thoughts were as follows:

 

- it will be extremely capital and cost intensive to build out the infrastructure and maintain it

- one way, push communications will limit future applications

- did they actually say "bits per second" ;-)

 

Perhaps a better approach would be to buy/lease the 2g infrastructure that the MNOs are planning to shut down?

 

I could be very wrong, but I think they have may difficult challenges ahead, with the larger ones being non technical.
