  Whoa whoa whoa. FULL duplex?!

    That's what I'm imagining. I know the engineers figured out a way to get it to work walky-talky style where you can either speak or listen (but not both) two-way -- let's call that partial duplex -- but I think the new wave of innovating social mobile apps could really utilize the flat network design paradigm in this new way, creating a whole new way to communicate with friends that also opens doors for enterprise usage. I think this could really make the world a better place.

      They should totally build it in Clojure and Erlang!

        The idea you'd know we're building it, and how? Absurd! Let's follow the example of the founder in question -- STEALTH it. Come on, that's how to have SUPER ADVANCED technology.

  "The Voxer application, for example, is capable of supporting full-duplex communication, allowing two (or more) participants of a conversation to engage in near real-time communication, similar to a synchronous telephone call. Participants are therefore required to select the PTT feature for the entire duration of the full-duplex exchange, which may be inconvenient after a certain period of time." http://www.google.com/patents/US20130295982 http://www.google.com/patents/US20130295982
