Well, that would be interesting, since Sprint's job board had "Senior Architecture Design Engineer" or some such posted for the Qchat project with a Fall 07 posting date, the last time I look.

I have no doubt they can screw up the architecture of Qchat as badly as they did with DirectConnect, er, PTT, um, WalkieTalkie. (And I say this as someone who sat in a conference room in Tampa in 1996 with a district and regional manager from Nextel, told them they needed to implement what they would later call Cross-fleet and Nationwide, and was told "nah; they'll never do that. Our customers aren't telling us they need that.".

I did; my client did. Look; there it was.

For Qchat, they need easy iDen interop, a PC/Internet desktop client -- even if they bill it as a separate line of service -- and the ability to cluster said desktops into a dispatch group, with manual release of the operator-radio association from the operator side.

Extra bonus points for using open protocols on the Internet interface.

That won't be what we get, though.
