We are trying to work with manufacturers and service providers to create more robust versions of the software and hope that they will take the lead on promoting the concept with the FCC (for reasons of self interest on creating cost-effective accommodations)” Q: “How do you see the different operating systems and model specifications of cell phones impeding the roll-out of this software?” A: “The software tricks we are using are pretty straightforward (currently) and should be applicable to most systems. We hope that once one system is shown to work with high accuracy, the manufacturers will be able to create similar systems pretty quickly for any modern smart phone.”
