Unfortunately this area is heavily patented.  GSM has to my knowledge
only one patent held by phillips. It's 13.5kbps and doesn't sound so
hot.  The better ones are patented to hell by cellphone companies, and
some are probably still classified that hte military is using/used.

I'm not sure if there's any room for us to work in, and even so, it
would tkae a fair amount of effort, and right now our focus is the
general purpose solution.
