  Yes, deely-bopper headsets are worth millions, Billions, GAZILLIONS!
But, of what?  We now have two entrants in the great use case deely-
bopper contest.  Who's next?

  But, seriously....  I'd like to make two general observations on the
use cases presented thus far.

  The more important observation is that all four of us have presented
uses that transcend the ivory tower.  I think that's a real strength of
the PIC group and one I want to encourage.  Although what we're doing
at the member meetings and JT is clearly in the category of experiment,
the demos are not classroom projects isolated from the private sector.

  The second observation is that PIC/ALS can be useful to the vendor
community as well as the individual.  Maybe by setting a "bargains"
switch to yes on my UA I would get discount offers.  The local pizza
store, noting that business is slow and pies are stacking up, might
send out a two fer broadcast to everyone accepting "bargains" within a
five block radius.  So, provided filtering is robust, this is win-win.
