Saw these a couple of days ago, look interesting. I wonder how much?

Why can't Nikon or Canon produce radio E-TTL devices, but third parties like
Quantum and Radiopoppers can?

How do you comply to all the radio and emission legislation in
every country of the world, especially if there's no way to select
a few bands that will be legal everywhere?

Radio legislation is not a core competency of Canon, but it can
be for a specialized 3rd party, which doesn't mind producing a
different version for each country.

Probably for the same reason you use sneakemail, to minimize spam.

Fair point, but they could offer a module like on the Sekonic light meters
where the main unit is the same, but if you want to use radio you just slot
in a relevant module for your country.

I use a legal, valid email address, mail sent to that address
does arrive here.

Why do you misuse the domain of

Who Cares
665 Alhambra Street

Crockett, CA 94525
United States of America

? Have the Tawfalls given you permission to use their
business domain?
