Hiya,

Thanks for the review.

Belatedly responding to your various mails as I get
the -07 ready.

It's not quite an acronym afaik.

Yep, I think you're right.

Yes, those are explained in the text I think.

Yep, ta.

I think that's ok, a 2-level TOC is enough.

There are lots of nb-IoT/LTE terms there that could be
better explained. But if you want to offer text for some
of those I'd be happy to add that.

I'm not sure what change you'd like.

Even when mounted on a mains-powered bit of equipment,
sometimes these devices run on their own battery.

Sorry, not sure what you mean. Figure 3 and that text were
contributed by folks who know more than me about that, but
if you'd like to suggest specific text I'd be happy to make
a change, if there are no objections on the list.

I'm not sure what specific text you'd like.
