About ten years ago, Nextel was selling Motorola iDEN two-way technology
as a cellular telephone substitute and tried to trademark "Push To
Talk". Nextel was eventually absorbed by Sprint. I see now PTT is a term
commonly used in the cellular industry, but I don't think anyone is
trying to claim it as a trademark.
