Remember, too, the way that cellular radios work. If there's no signal, the radio switches to higher and higher power settings to try and find one. For people outside Sprint coverage, a Kindle with a cellular radio which couldn't be switched off would drain its battery flat in a matter of hours.
Harry, I learned a long time ago to not bet that technology & ingenuity can't make something happen. "Where there's a will, there's a way." Maybe not with current tech. but remember 1984. Just looking to a possible future and using imagination & wondering.
