Multi-million dollar production facilities behind $109 transceivers..
ReplyDeleteHere in New Zealand, in the late '90s at Massey University (Palmerstoin North) I completed construction of, and began production in, a mini version. The project was abandoned and it was sold to Sri Lanka (I.E.

It was the valid core of a prototyping (perhaps even small-scale production) plant. I've not heard of its fate following the tsunami - it hit that area hard. :( There were some very clued-up folks there!
