    Now the big news boys are starting to catch on to what I've been saying
    about WiFi replacing Cell Phone Networks.

    WSJ reported today....

    Apple's iPhone, which has generated more than enough buzz itself, is
    also corralling a lot of attention for wireless fidelity, or Wi-Fi
    networks.

    Since the iPhone's launch late last month, network services are
    reporting more device connections on Wi-Fi networks as consumers seek a
    faster connection to the Web. The technology is a double-edged sword for
    carriers: While it provides a short-term benefit by reducing loads on
    their cellular networks, it could potentially wrest away their control
    over Internet service.

    (exactly what i've said!)

    If anyone has an account with WSJ, there is more here:

    http://online.wsj.com/article/SB118419582680863931.html

    ----

    Basically what is going to happen is WiFi is going to replace the "for
    pay" cell networks. The iPhone is GREAT at WiFi, so why pay a monthly
    fee when you can talk for free? Steve Jobs knows this idea extremely
    well, that's why he has ATT in a massive headlock upon the release of
    iChat VOIP or iTalk (the chosen name for it)

    Free calls to anywhere in the world from any iPhone to any iPhone is the
    "PageMaker" of this coming era. (the old school cell guys like Tom Gay
    Allcock & Justin, won't understand a word I'm saying) but Apple has just
    pulled off one of the biggest (but admittedly, pending) social changes
    to our world since "the phone". No joke!

    It will be known as:

    Bi & Ai

    "Much like the Western calendar marks time from before and after Jesus
    Christ, and how the computer world changed totally by the Macintosh -

    - I am certain that the mobile telecoms world will count its time in two
    Eras. The Era BI: time Before the iPhone, and the ERA AI: time After the
    iPhone."

    - Tomi T Ahonen

    http://communities-dominate.blogs.co...ng_iphone.html

    -------

    There will be INCREDIBLE pressure to put up lowcost WiFi access points
    everywhere in the world once the iPhone sells in the 40+ million range
    (about 1.3 years away)

    So for $20, you can broadcast a free connection to the internet, thus
    making Cell Towers OBSOLETE. (unless you are hunting Buffalo, of course)

    Quality Netgear stuff is CHEAP, so open your own tower today, and get
    rid of those nasty "pay by the month" companies. Learn more here:

    http://www.seattlewireless.net/AntennaHowTo

    The whole hacker ethic is going to make sure Cell Towers SERVE no
    purpose beyond, 2010. Is that a deal? yep! People still paying for
    "cell" service in 2011 are idiots!

    So now I know why Tom and Justin are mad at me, but I have to laugh,
    since they have NO IDEA about how Apple operates.

    When they enter a new "market" they nearly KILL it. They did it with
    mainframes, they did it with accounting firms, they did it with
    printers, they did it with CD music sellers, now they are going to wipe
    out the "cell industry' as we know it.

    Tom & Justin, you'll see what I'm saying in 2-6 years.

    Been there, done that.

    Note those last two words, INTERNET SERVICE.

    You're a pathological liar. YOU claimed that wifi would
    replace the cellphone system FOR PHONE CALLS.

    Nope, for range reasons alone.

    And you might care to explain why anyone is going to be
    installing all those free open access wifi systems when
    they wont be making any money from that system if its free.

    Because you cant talk for free, you silly little ****wit child.

    Its AT&T that has that fool Jobs in a headlock with the 2 year contract his
    customers have to sign up for and pay for, you stupid pig ignorant child.

    > Free calls to anywhere in the world from any iPhone to any iPhone


    Just another of your silly little pig ignorant fantasys.

    If that was currently so easy, everyone with a wifi laptop would be doing it.

    Only a tiny subset of them do that, and that has
    absolutely NO effect on the cellphone networks.

    Its actually going to cost MORE than the cellphone network does because

    They're actually laughing at your childish antics.

    Neither have you, child. So stupid you havent even managed to work
    out why the iphone has a cellphone service, and that you are locked
    into paying for that too unless you are actually stupid enough to not
    use the cellphone networks when there is no wifi available.

    > When they enter a new "market" they nearly KILL it.


    The Newton didnt do anything like that, child. Its the Newton that got killed, child.

    They didnt do that with their laptops either, child.

    In a fight between licensed radio spectrum and unlicensed radio
    spectrum, the licensed will always win.

    http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/2...25_000462.html

    "Many people think current WiFi technology also threatens the telcos,
    but it doesn't. For one thing, WiFi networks are just too darned
    small, and if WiFi hotspot aggregation was going to be a successful
    business, wouldn't we see one or more of the aggregators making money
    by now? Yes, you could link together 100,000 or more hotspots and
    create the equivalent of a wireless Baby Bell, but there simply isn't
    that kind of money being put into commercial hotspots. Even the
    boldest aggregation plan called for only 20,000 hotspots, and that
    outfit is already out of business. It ain't gonna happen. And the
    reason it won't is also because of WiFi's great strength -- the use of
    unlicensed radio spectrum.

    It is hard to build a business model around unlicensed radio
    frequencies and here's why: Anyone can use them for any acceptable
    purpose, no matter how stupid. If WiFi came to be a real threat to the
    phone companies, they'd just start their own WiFi businesses to
    undermine any possible hotspot success. This wouldn't be the
    enlightened phone company cannibalizing its own network before someone
    else does -- it would be the very unenlightened telephone company
    trying to screw-up the WiFi space for everyone else.

    All a Verizon, a BellSouth, or an SBC would have to do is throw their
    own WiFi access points up on telephone poles all over town, but
    instead of using them for Internet access, they'd use them to
    continuously broadcast bad movies on every available channel. As long
    as a real service was being offered, even if it is a service being
    used by only phone company employees (training videos, 24/7) then the
    FCC could not classify this use spectrum as causing "egregious
    interference." No foul, but also no reliable WiFi service, either,
    just all "Plan 9 From Outer Space" all the time. And that's why the
    phone company doesn't worry about WiFi."

    A more credible threat to cellphone networks is WiMax, but that is
    already owned by the very same cellphone providers...

    yes, but established printers in the 80's said the same thing about the
    LaserWriter, now 90% of those printers are "gone", put out of business
    by a device that cost 2% of what they were selling.

    and while i'll agree in years 2, 3, 4... desperate cell companies will
    put up WiFi points and STILL TRY and charge for their service, but if
    you are reading this, you know that's a pure LIE.

    WiFi is FREE, anyone can put up their own antenna and broadcast
    bandwidth for miles for nearly free. You just need to learn about
    antennas, which is completely free.

    Companies like Buffalo ***** the end of Sprint, ATT, TMobile, Verizon.

    http://www.buffalotech.com/products/wireless/

    Will it happen next year? or even by 2009? nope! but it will happen,
    just like how the LaserWriter changed business printing and wiped out
    1000's of traditional printers along the way.

    Apple is just like that, they have "no respect for the status quo".

    This is how it works, watch and learn what the iPhone is about to do to
    the "for pay" networks:

    ??? what does shill mean?

    it's now up 1.36, and that's just based on the iPhone success, nothing
    what I have said, except what the WSJ has said that cell companies will
    probably die because of the wifi iphone.

    is that what you mean?

    apple is at at all time high as i post this, 134.07 is that what you

    or are you starting to understand that apple will control the entire
    cell industry in 10 years?

    LOL. I'll put this in my tickler file for 2017.

    "When using omni-directional antennas having less than 6 dB gain [...],
    the FCC rules require EIRP to be 1 watt (1,000 milliwatts) or less."

    Directional antennas are useless for anyone hoping to broadcast
    bandwidth for miles so you're limited to 1 watt EIRP which certainly
    won't go for miles, or even one mile.

    No amount of learning about antennas will fix that.

    yes, peter but the FCC isn't going to spend money on "testing rules"...
    in america it doesn't work that way. freedom is much more important than
    "rules", the FCC has 4 part time people for the entire US that test this
    stuff, so rules don't matter with the overriding goal is to change
    worldwide society.

    but again, the FCC isn't going to be checking for this, only the CELL
    companies... once they are being strapped for cash, from being SUCKED
    dry by wifi will it happen, so it's a moot point at least in a free
    country.

    put up all the 802.11 wireless antennas you want, you will NOT be
    harassed.

    mine is called "iPhone" and reaches around 800 feet, for free!

    It seems likely that the iphone has redefined the user interface,
    but if Apple follows its past history, it might dominate the high
    end, but won't be interested in low margin entry level units.

    No, but they will in time interfere with each other, and when heavily
    used, give limited bandwidth, and not work reliably in all weather
    conditions beyond a hundred meters or so, and in any case be fed by the
    existing TELCOS backbones of fiber and copper.

    And be effing useless outside of cities.

    Where mobile phone technology offers a far better performance.

    If you leave things like web browsing and email alone, there's no reason
    why a smaller and much simpler iPhone nano shouldnt work very much the
    same way (touchscreen, screen and keyboard always in landscape mode).
    Let them come up with an iPod with a touchscreen first, so the screen
    gets cheaper...

    Anyway, I'm quite sure Apple has other things to care for right now.
