Now I see some of what the claims from back then of what the venture was to do making the light of day, only this time Microsoft is at it with a Qualcomm partner in Sprint, but without the kings of CDMA.

What this means is Microsoft has hit into Q’s Omnitracs heart and likely did an expensive visiting professor type of effort that eventually delivered for them.
