Wireless Research's Biggest Hurdle and Largest Opportunity
For my latest article at TheFeature, I interviewed Ramesh Rao, a director of the California Institute of Telecommunications and Information Technology, who believes that he future potential of mobile technology won't truly be realized until the wireless spectrum's Tower of Babel is toppled."No system is designed around the assumption that there will be others in the neighborhood...The wireless world has largely been built around specific technologies that have industry consortiums and standards bodies behind them. So largely, every developer or provider takes the point of view that the world may have a choice, but in the end their system will be the one that's adopted. So we ask, what are the architectures, capabilities and services that can emerge if you set out to exploit the fact that you will have multiple systems surround you?"Link
