What You can do with WLAN and GPRS
ALL IP ALL THE TIME
- You can get "seamless mobility" for
voice and multi-media applications
E.g., Ericsson/Telia Hybrid Devices
Software Agents Mediate all Communications
"You are a Telemarketer:
Is your deal better than 5SEK/hour?"
IM replaces SMS
No Telephone Numbers - just URLs
(Cisco's Internet telephones are doing better
than the rest of its business.)
If everything is IP, then you can eventually eliminate all telephone circuit switches.
How long? (maybe
10 years?)
More probably: circuit-based cell phones survive forever
as a 2nd tier cheap means of communication.
