Wanna drive the telcos out of business?
If we do, we got lots of security to talk about ...
For some time, I have been idly exploring the possibilities of marrying dynamic re-
routing capabilities to cell phones, along with, essentially, a femtocell-like
function included with every phone. (The Magicjack looks to be about the right
size.) In contrast to the current contention model for communications (the more
phones in an area the worse the bandwidth/communications function), when you
use protocols like CDMA2000 (where the closer the devices are to each other, the
higher the data rates) you get a situation where the more phones there are in an
area the greater the bandwidth, and the better the communications.
Once you reach a certain critical mass (and address some issues for long
distance-- not insurmountable), the central telco becomes irrelevant. And
redundant ...
How's that for net neutrality? :-)
