     Yes, the market was small. But, as I mentioned, there were no   
   alternatives at the time, so whatever small, that was *the* market.   
      
     Analogy: I had a Nokia 6310i [1] phone with (GPRS) Internet. Use/data   
   cost an arm and a leg (my provider only offered per-minute access), but   
   I *did* have Internet, also as a modem for my laptop.
