Complete and Ready

All the components that are needed to accomplish these goals are complete, in place, and ready to go. These components are:

The Protocols.

The protocols are well-designed, meet all the technical requirements of the industry, and are published as RFCs - the mainstream Internet publishing procedure. The complete text of RFC 2188 and RFC 2524 is available at:

http://www.rfc-editor.org

Open Maintenance Organizations.

The protocols are maintained at EMSD.org and ESRO.org, allowing open and non-exclusionary participation in the maintenance of the protocols. For complete details see:

http://www.esro.org and
http://www.emsd.org

Freedom from Patents.

The protocols are patent-free to the best of our knowledge, and are guaranteed to stay that way. This ensures permanent, unrestricted access to the protocols. For more information see:

http://www.FreeProtocols.org

Open-Source Software Implementations.

These are being made available for a wide variety of of platforms and end-user devices, including: pagers and cell-phones; hand-held PCs (Windows CE, Palm PC) and Palm Pilot; Windows 98, Windows 95, and Windows NT; Pine (UNIX, Windows, DOS). For complete details see:

Collectively, the above components represent a complete recipe for the success of the LEAP protocols. All the pieces of the puzzle are complete, and there are no missing pieces.
