Yeah the FCC will love you GEEX modifying the network access layer of
your cell phones. DUH! not. Any of you dork-a-roonies ever hear of a
slotted inbound control channel? No one's gonna let you screw up and
create a phone that hogs all the slots. Stick to Pretty Good Word
Processing software and Draw software that lacks a macro recorder.
You can't wipe out entire communication systems in cities playing with
that stuff. O yeah and you can write all the XSLT translators you
want.
