- Nov., 2009To share personal vision in future fixed & mobile network convergence, which may happen in very near future.In Asia, especially in places with high density population, we see a perfect marriage of 3.5G/4G and WiMax, the ultimate wireless broadband service to be offered to users with seamless network access experience.To see this, we shall not limit ourselves in apple to apple comparison between LTE and WiMax, technology should focus on user convenience, not on technology itself.WiMax will be widely used in centralized residential area, such new operators will arise with their own WiMax network and cooperate with carriers and hotspot SPs to enable cross district & on-the-move broadband connection. HSDPA or LTE will serve a major role in distant connection.Consumer pays a monthly flat fee to access Internet and community services, once log on, devices will be continuously connected anywhere they go without noticing operator or network changes.To go along with this trend,- IP phone will take over fixed line.- Mobile devices will merge into three major directions, a main stream heads to entertainment phone, e.g. iPhone. Another focuses on IP voice like Skype phone. The last one will be 'super easy' phone for senior citizen and people who are not heavy Internet users.- Ultra mini PC and Netbook will gradually replace notebook, it shall become another new media market segment. CULV will fade out. Desktop will turn into super power 'all-in-one piece' design with built-in battery, allow users to carry around at home. eReader will be equipped with simple netbook function and wi-fi.- More location based community services targeting 'netbook / eReader' users, network game & IPTV on such devices will be a mega trendA middleware, conditional acces & DRM, targeted info/advertising or services running on crossed-platforms/devices with mixed format support shall serve as the last mile of this ultimate network convergence.Specialties: Over 15 years in IT, telecom and new media services.
