Just a few things: The technology to do this is software according to the linked page. If this is accurate, then you can not get a patent on the technology as there is no real new product. Instead, it is code and therefore, falls under copyright protection. This is good news. One can take the same idea and write his or her own code to do pretty much the same things and, as long as they didn't steal any code, there is nothing Stantum can do about it.

Now, it's true that Stantum wil likely try to license it's code to people for a price. But, it seems to me that what usually happens in IT is that after a small software group produces something like this, it works like a proof of concept. Then, larger corps take note that it can be done and then some other larger software companies will replicate the same concept with their own code and sell it/put it in their own products.

In our case, we should hope that the demand would be something that either 1.) Nokia would write the code or 2.) Some kind hearted fool that's into linux will take it upon themselves to start a project...and in about 8 years it'll be useful

Either way,
