I have been debating the cost of mobile cyberspace with PCSTEL in the Globalstar stream for a long time and the overall interaction of price and data availability and what people would like to do. My ideal world is user-controlled stereoscopic cameras with stereophonic sound located everywhere with fibre to where people happen to be so that going somewhere is as easy as clicking rather than going via LAX and getting permission from TSA, customs, airlines, passport issuers and what have you. That would lead to enormous data movement and netileptic unconsciousness if there's no feedback data flow control system. Hence my antipathy to net neutrality. Packets need instantaneous pricing - not necessarily for everyone, but for sufficient to ensure constant availability of cyberspace. To make 3D cyberspace mobile will require a lot of data which will mean tiny femtocell cellsites and Ubiquiti NanoStation2 zones running off wifi routers. PCSTEL's argument is there isn't enough spectrum so spectrum will soar in price. My argument, for decades now, is that as the cost of electronics comes down, micro base stations [or nano, pico, or femto or whatever they are called] will be economic to subdivide spectrum in 800MHz, 450MHz and that Globalstar's ATC will not be desirable enough. So far, that's true. Simply rolling out fibre isn't good enough - it has to be cheap enough to use [for regular humans, not just important people who attend Knowledge Wave jamborees and are employed by government departments]. Given the value of consciousness and information [two sides of the same coin], and the amount of data fibre and electronics can handle, we are just setting out on the way to universal consciousness. I still can't click and be as good as present anywhere around the world I choose. There are plenty of web cams, so there's a start underway. We are still in the steam engine phase of cyberspace development and the model T Ford is not even thought of yet, let alone the Ferrari Testarossa cargurus.com Mqurice
