This radio will be field tested soon at an area school. I look forward to hearing more and will report back when I do: http://www.metricsystems.com/
I figured I'd point it out to the list enough though I suspect the price point is not for the typical radio amateur.
It would seem a company making such a thing would have a limited market, so if it could be unlocked to cover ham freq's that might provide a small secondary market.
Either way, hams looking to move data might also want to research white space radios as I suspect this sort of thing will be more common.
PS: I see the dunderheads in Newington have proposed some changes to the hobby. Sadly anything to do with data/bandwidth isn't part of it.
