| Is WiMAX Lagging? »
July 7, 2004
Into The Great Unwired
Posted by John Yunker
This is the first entry of a new blog devoted to the convergence of (and conflict among) wireless technologies and what it all means to us, the prospective consumers.
I will apply a wide angle lens to such technologies as Wi-Fi, WiMAX, GPRS, EV-DO and Ultra-Wideband. Will WiMAX live up to its hype, or will Flarion steal the spotlight? Will Ultra-Wideband push Wi-Fi out of the home? Will cars become moving access points? Will Wi-Fi become free for all? (I certainly think so.)
Lots of questions. Lots of predictions. And lots of optimism. I believe that we are in the early stages of a much greater wireless revolution than cellular turned out to be. This new revolution began with Wi-Fi and is only just getting started.
I encourage comments and feedback and will include them on subsequent posts. Please keep in touch at jyunker@bytelevel.com.
