Q: What technology innovation or product are you looking forward to next year?
The wireless innovations and products that will be popular in 2009 will be services that are inherently designed to satisfy the savvy user's expectation that information access and connectivity will be instant, ubiquitous and reliable with a seamless experience. For example, cellular mobile broadband is untethering notebook computer users from Wi-Fi so users don't have to hunt down hotspots or carry multiple external cards.
What will boost the adoption of mobile broadband technologies?
While consumer demand for enhanced 3G technologies is already very strong, a lot more can be done to ensure that optimized networks that enable compelling wireless data services are deployed in all markets. For example, freeing up additional spectrum for ongoing wireless broadband investments and enhancements will enable mobile operators to continue to expand state-of-the-art wireless communications and bridge the digital divide. But what is required is a concerted effort from everyone in the industry – operators, vendors and governments alike. Only as a result of this effort shall we see the true value that enhanced 3G services can bring us all.
