Where mobile wireless will be in 10 years time?

Today we are in mobile wireless in the beginning of the jet plane age. Circa 1952. It took 40 years to get air travel dirty cheap as it is today. (Blame the government sanctioned cartel IATA). In mobile it will take about ten years to get dirty cheap. (Blame in the monopolist roots of the telcos. We could already be more advanced)

In ten years time, network infrastructure will be in place and there will be need to maximize its use. A clever multiband device will be used to connect no matter the air interface around you. Lets say I have a Wi-Fi enabled lap top. I would sense the next base station. It is a CDMA, it connects through it and will "tunnel" through that CDMA infrastructure, piggy back it until it reaches a Wi-Fi Point of Presence (POP) to which it connects.

If I have a mobile phone, say a GSM, I switch it on, it senses a Wi-Fi point of presence, since it is multi-band, it goes VoIP through that POP. Operators will be doing business in a similar manner Star Alliance or other bunch of airline companies which gang up together to fill their airplanes sharing codes. There will be a lot of interesting stuff that other companies will do to use the ubiquitous infrastructure available in 2014.

Some of the applications that people have envisaged during the last tech bubble will then be common. Like reading your electricity meter and send the result over the air interface, you can picture the rest...
