Now that you mentioned OpenSky, here's an article I saw from another  
list about how they're pushing M/A-Com to license OpenSky technology  
to other companies for several reasons. The most obvious ones are  
about not being locked-in to only one manufacturer for their  
equipment and to encourage competition. If they're successful, you  
know what that means right? Plus it'll open the door for the next  
"target": ProVoice!



"At this time, the equipment will all have to be purchased from M/A- 
COM and comptroller Alan G. Hevesi called on the Pataki  
administration to take immediate steps to have the company fulfill  
its contractual commitment to license its technology to other  
companies."

"The Statewide Wireless Network contract, approved more than a year  
ago, required M/A-COM to license its technology to three other  
equipment manufacturers to force companies to compete for local  
governments' business and provide taxpayers with lower costs. But  
that has not occurred to date," Hevesi said. "If our $2 billion  
investment in SWN is to be worthwhile, then equipment must be made  
more affordable to encourage government entities to use the system."
