    Hi,

    I am Anubhav from Wipro, India. I am interested in your specification of PSI
    and I am subscribed to the mailing list as well.

    I am sorry if I am not supposed to post in message on PSI to you this way,
    however I assure you that once I know the protocol, I will stick to it.

    Following is my comment on the Requirement Specs of PSI.

    After reading the speicification document I see a note on page 17. This is
    actually an issue "How does the mobile device know that it can use Model 3
    instead of needing use model 2".

    I see the following options:

    a) Model 2 is one, wherein the mobile device is
            1. more capable than in model 3 (hence is probably costlier)

    b) Model 2 is one, wherein the print service is
            1. capable of handling lesser channels of simultaneous
    communications than in model 3
            2. for some reason not able to talk to printer

    Hence i feel that a mobile will need to take a decision to go in for 2/3
    based on

            1. Existing protocol support on the mobile itself
            2. May be depending of the level of support provided by the print
    services
            3. Current load on the mobile/print service

    However I am not sure about other issues that may be underlying this.

    Best Regards,
    Anubhav.
