Yeah, at least in the near term. But further out, when everyone
has
wris****ch size, secure encrypted digital satellite two-way
receivers
(hey, I can dream, can't I? :-o ), I don't imagine there will be
too
many utilities and Mossad numbers stations on "Shortwave" as we know
it now!
And there will be Cingular and Verizon wanting a buck
a pop for each message sent and for each moment of
usage. Once the kids today grow up and discover
that a cell phone doesn't mean freedom but the ability
for someone at work to call you 24x7, they might not
like those blackberrys and cells so much.
