Yeah, that's cool stuff. When I worked for Motorola, my area was working on this. I sat in on the initial brainstorming sessions for this. I'm surprised Motorola hasn't unveiled their version of this yet. Then again, the Government Electronics Division - Space and Systems Technology Group was sold off after I left. They were working on this 3-4 years ago. Looks like the morons at corporate didn't have the vision to fund its development. What a shame.

I'd buy it. I hate the cable companies almost as much as I hate the phone companies and Satellite Internet just doesn't cut it.
