In November 2011 it asked Ofcom for permission to run the high-speed data services over part of the radio spectrum it already uses for earlier generation technologies.
As imputation tools have improved (from a methods development point of view, and with an increased number of reference genomes available), it is likely that many genome-wide association studies performed on early generation technologies will be reevaluated with imputed genotypes that cover more common variants, and less common or even rare variants.
The fight underscores just how much today's smartphones rely on an earlier generation of technology.
Earlier generation digital technologies like email were not engineered with far-sighted privacy protections in mind.
In other cases, the effects of digital technology have, for the most part, not been as helpful as the earlier generations of technology were for music.
For example, stimulator-receivers are now less bulky, surgical tools for cochlear insertions are refined, operative magnification/lighting have improved, and electrode arrays are thinner; all coming together to allow for smaller incisions and dramatically shortened operative times as compared to earlier generations of technology.
The equipment is also much lighter and cheaper than an elaborate earlier generation of satellite technology, which provided Wi-Fi access on some aircraft, but was never widely adopted.
But Myanmar can skip earlier generations of telecommunications technology.
Some of Lenovo's early smartphones were quirky, with unusual clamshell designs that recalled earlier generations of mobile technology.
The two mobile operators want to be able to pipe futuristic 4G services over parts of the radio spectrum that, on their networks, are reserved for earlier generations of mobile technology.
A principal with the San Francisco-based fund, Garrett Goldberg, compared Iris Automation to airbag and seatbelt makers in an earlier generation, when such life-saving technologies were new to the automotive industry.
