I was working in the department of Research & Development for a mobile messaging company where we spent years on building some backend platforms for 2G, 2.5G networks, such as Ringtone download, SMS voting system, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) platform. When 3G was coming to UK, the boss asked, besides sending/receiving sms/mms, what else can we do for 3G? Assuming the bandwidth can be good enough and the tariff will be eventually cut down, I started to believe, Wired or Wireless, will be no difference sooner or later; i.e. all the application/service traditional ‘wired’ Internet could be move to the wireless/mobile world.

From Wired to Wireless
