Data applications will finace e-mail interface, telphone communications, two way radio type communications, and the list goes on & on. Everyone, on every post tends to focus on how everything is set-up today, not a year from now or five years from now. All these big bulky devices we use now, will shrink down into -truely active personal digital assistants, that we can wear or carry in the palm of our hand. Remember the first cell phones, the one's with the the bulky battery pack the size of a car battery. Look at them today, with e-mail, two way radio, etc., voice activated etc. etc. In plain terms, you will eventually be able to call anywhere, recieve information in ways we can not even imagine today. Just look at the last three years how the cell industry has changed. Part of the $1.50 cost is based upon a limited population using the service. Roll the population of Nextel, onto a premium satellite service per use, or as a competitive end all for the competition. Before you know it, those costs fall like a rock, and so do the per call charges. Just the same way they have over the past few years, more user's equal lower costs. |
