<tt>LTE is a L1-L2 technolgy for us Internet folk. Itīs no more a
walled garden than Ethernet. Itīs the use you make of it that
matters.<br>

Has a role to play but like its predecessor IMS. Is not about
neutral carrier. <br>

<pre class="k9mail">Dear Christian,
one of the paragraphs in your response particularly intrigued me and I
wonder if I can ask for clarification:

transformative over wireless would not be cell but wireless Internet
services. That is the only effective way to bring the power of
application and service innovation to the people locally. It's the
difference between being dependent (on cell) to being in the driving
seat (Internet data network) both from enabling new networks to be set
up by people themselves to their developing and deploying applications.

What do you mean by wireless Internet services? Via WIFI?
I am personally "sold" on LTE. Having used
it in
extensively in
Singapore at 100Mb/s download AND upload, whether outside, in a hotel,
in a taxi, underground, on a subway train. I have no idea how they did
this but LTE worked everywhere. Implemented correctly, LTE really opened
my mind to understand ubiquitous connectivity. I stopped thinking "do I
have Internet?" and made constant use of my mobile to help me find my
way in an unknown environment - so much so that I felt like I "belonged"
there. I can see the benefit of such service for trade and exchange at
all levels, both in developed and in developing economies.
All to say that I have real concerns about another technology gap
opening: reliable, fast LTE or not.
To summarise, I really believe the mobile Internet is an opportunity for
all countries but in the current arms race where "faster is better"
whilst the principles are great, the infrastructure costs are going to
put a serious strain on
developing country economies.
Kind regards,
Olivier
