Right now they come in bags that you have to carry around, and they're really heavy, ad the reception is poor, and they cost $5,000 each. So no one but the super-rich can buy them, and none of the communications companies are likely to want to invest in them. If we can just get the government to figure out a way to mass produce them, make them a lot cheaper, and improve the quality, I think they'll prove to be a great thing.
