color:#1F497D'>Smaller is obviously cheaper, in terms of materials but also
because “small” usually comes as the result of higher integration within
the component parts, reducing the number of components, which in turn increases
reliability and reduces servicing/maintenance costs. VLSI has perhaps been
the single greatest contribution to the commoditization of electronics.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:#1F497D'>My father at one time worked for Motorola Semiconductor. The
“One Chip” (landline) phone in the 1980’s was a hugely significant
breakthrough in the development, and cost, of that technology.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

does <i>not</i> always equate to cheaper. I simply think that you have
the balance reversed… it *<b>is</b>* more often cheaper than not.
If it weren’t, manufacturers simply wouldn’t bother pursuing it as
aggressively as they do).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
