Oooh, I like this one! would pretty much spell the death of the cellphone as we know it in urban areas... (or at least the death of cellphone pricing as we know it, lol) The real question though, is who's going to deploy the 802.11r networks... if it's AT&T/Verizon/etc. then things are not going to change at all as they'll just overprice the underlying network to a point it can't compete with cellular... if however independent companies will be able to deploy.. well, think about it - if you could have a wi-fi phone which works seamlessly everywhere (home & outside in major cities), but costs a fraction of the price of home+cell service - would you keep your cellphone?? :) We're talking a few years from now.. but it's coming! -- Nitzan _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
