VOIPo3G Business Model
This is just taken out of a article I just read and professor-sized.VOIPo3G This article articulates business strategies that are molding the direction of carriers and cellular providers, however it doesn’t take in account the huge advantage technology wise. It states by 2012, 255 Million subscribers will be utilizing VOIPo3G. However, the demand for VOIP features, will dictate the infrastructure and within the next couple of years you will see more traditional carriers move to an “all IP Infrastructure” to provide cost reduction and to support all IP functionality be it 3.5G or 4G.
Like I mentioned in an earlier blog, WIMAX is ever so real, however the convergence of IP makes WIMAX just another medium to carrier IP. The need for 4G functionality and speeds can be summed up as the need for speed over wireless technology. The introduction of all IP hand-helds will slowly take over the market forcing companies like AT&T and Verizon to keep up with the demand of bandwidth. Instead of competing with WIMAX carriers, these vendors will become WIMAX service providers in order to keep the market from having a much of a choice.
2012 will be fun, but I expect the fun to start way before then.

So then the Earth-Link WiMax and all those municipalities will just go away or do you think the ATT people will buy them?
Or do you think that they will install their own flavor on their bazillions of towers making muni-wiMax obsolete before it gets crankin good

I think your right professor. We just may have to go to another country to use WiMAX sooner.
