What’s there to believe in? Since I live in Oslo, Norway I would like to know what’s going on!!

Today I use iBurst for local wireless in Oslo since it is MUCH better then anything else.

Please let me know if I have to go to the US. to get a real wifi experience!!!!!!

Now, I read your latest posting, which I assume you were writing whilst listening to George Noory – so it does seem fitting to make my comments at this time and place.

If you look at my blog and corresponding website you may be surprised at what you find. People are waking up to the fact that there is a great disconnect between the technological advances in computer and Internet technologies and the transport technologies which are presently circumscribing and defining the ‘Mobile Generation’. It really is all about controlling the status quo. ‘Vested interests’ are trying to come up with their own technological answer before the pressure imbalances on either side of the supply and demand Dam – cause its inevitably failure.

We are solidly in THE ‘Mobile Generation’ now and ‘these’ mobile users are asking why they can’t have their broadband experience – literally – anywhere they go!

I compare the iPhone to what the Model T was at the beginning of the 20th century. Can you imagine, in your dreams, what a truly 21st century Mobile device might be like? This IS the 21st. century and The Mobile Generation is primed for a reliable, efficient, fast, totally secure and ‘go anywhere’ device that can function optimally anywhere the Internet Superhighway takes them – not on a class ‘C’ cellular and hotspot transport track – full of pot-holes, toll booths, marginal arterial access and speed limits that snails are ashamed of.

The bottom line is – present mobile phones are constrained by the inherent limitations of the architecture they are compelled to operate upon.

These ‘Mobile’ companies can’t give us Phones capable of handling T1 or T3 Internet connectivity anywhere we go – because current wireless technology can’t facilitate it. Nokia, Samsung etc, can’t give us a phone as powerful as a desktop because current cellular technology is fundamentally limited to no better than dial-up.

So why would they build a powerful pocket computer (3 GHz CPU, 3 Gig Ram etc.) if current wireless technology can’t support its capabilities?

There is disconnect between what the mobile generation is all about and what cellular transport and hotspot technology can provide. The ‘Real’ Mobile Generation is Internet savvy and they expect a 1.5 Mbit/s life-style, at the very least. You only have to look at OQO.com to see what is already possible in a pocket computer.

The iPhone is just an evolutionary step toward the next generation ‘devices’ for the mass market. Heck, these devices won’t even have the word ‘Phone’ in them! They’ll have to be considered convergent devices – because that is what they’ll be!

I wouldn’t bother with an iPhone now – since these new devices will function with an entirely different wireless protocol than is currently used.

They will be built to function on a ubiquitous high-speed wireless network. You know what ubiquitous means – don’t you? Anywhere you go – you’re connected. Out in the wilderness. On top of a mountain. Flying in a Plane. Underground..

I know what’s coming…

There is about to be a fundamental shift in the actual Internet infrastructure – where ‘everything’ will become virtually obsolete -practically overnight. Its projected launch is in about 6 months hence – around 1st quarter 2008.

And the ‘Vested Interests’ are not happy campers about it.

Yes, they know what’s coming – but are they telling you about it?

Don’t be overwhelmed with iPhone hype – Save your WOW for something worthy of it. Save your WOW currency a little bit longer.

It is projected to take 2-3 years to have ALL of North America covered with this new protocol (nothing to do with IEEE) Wireless T1 – T3 Internet connectivity.

I know the people responsible. I know much of the underlying story. I know the resources backing this technology – and it’s massive!

Although I can share only ‘so much’ on my blog and site – because of legal constraints – I think you’ll recognize an antidote to the nickel and dime antics of those who think they own the Internet – when you see it.

Shouldn’t the Internet belong to those who use it?
