Quick Net Connect
Original concept: IP packet data support with “dormant mode”
- similar to demand-dialed ISDN
Political obstacles to CDMA packet data
- lackluster carrier interest
- vendor resistance (CDPD competition?)
- inability to appreciate importance of Internet
- some telcos still think “data” == “modems”
Asynch data/fax service based on TCP/IP
- this was the “hook” for QNC
