The Future Of Communications

Internet Telephony... it's here and it's growing.

So imagine wi-fi spots becoming ever present: news.bbc.co.uk

So imagine if you have an internet-capable mobile, such as one of these for example: shop.orange.co.uk

So you walk into a wi-fi spot with an internet ready mobile.

You have one of these installed: www.skype.com or www.google.com

You call someone who also has Skype or Google Talk installed, and you have no bill to pay.

Free telephony!

Alternatively, you can write letters, Morse code, pigeon messaging, or try two plastic cups and bloody long piece of string.

Dunno about a screening type thing, Shazia, but doesn't almost everything these days. Telephones are bugged, and Skype is screened... same sh*t, different technology.

As for brain tumour...
...

...but doesn't everything yada yada yada :P

If you are wondering what is the latest on 3G mobile phone technology, as all of you so clearly are, here: news.bbc.co.uk
Apparently the industry is optimistic

(3G? news.bbc.co.uk)

is this going to be give me brain cancer or something cos of all the rays?

and does it have a screening type thing?

Shazia, I suggest you do the same. And BvsL. And anyone esle that's bothered.

Right, Plato, download Skype, and get yourself a headphone/microphone combo thingy. When you've done that, I'll give you my user name, and we can chat for free. Introduce it to your relatives, friends, girlfriends, anywhere in the world, who have a computer and internet connection, and then you can chat to them for free.

Hmmm, well, you need the Internet.

For wi-fi, I don't think lines are needed.

Google Talk is owned by, well, Google, and you know what their financial situation.
Skype was bought recently by Ebay for $3.6 billion (+ $1.5 billion over the next 4 years, I think)

As for satellites beaming down wireless fidelity, I think these are usually joint ventures from various different companies/investors/VSs that invest now, and will reap huge rewards (so they think) later on when premium subscription money starts rolling in.

emmm... i dunno... infrastructure?

someone's gotta be paying for the lines right?

upkeep of what?

showme the moeny!!

who pays upkeep?
