Actually, 1400 orders is not too bad, really. If they average 1-man
yen per month per user (which does not seem at all unlikely), that's
14 million yen per month, or over a million dollars a year in revenue.
That means that they're probably not losing all that much on it if the
didn't need to install a lot of new radio gear, they get the beneft of
the market research, and they've got their foot in the door in case it
should happen to take off.
