Postscript - It is probably not helpful to discuss mobile wireless in the context of any particular company's technology. The beginning point of thinking about this subject was the technology and the partners referenced in my last, but references could be (should be) generic. I suppose it would be better to posit a network, a domain, built to encompass all forms of digitized communication - voice, video, straight data, music, fixed and mobile. The premise is that all data is digital, thus the requirement for VoIP and QoS: isn't that the ideal we want? Meaning that the cellphone call from a train, in New York to a car, in LA, gets handed off seamlessly from each network component to the next. The absence of discontinuities would be the key to such a network. For example, most satellite-enabled internet connections that I am aware of require a POTS line to complete the loop. What is needed is true two-way satellite communication. The design of a cellphone network in a particular city is driven more by internal, than external demands. Nobody seems to be referencing mobile communications as part of a contiguous whole.
