Have you seen an analysis of how much data goes through wifi vs macro-cellular already today? In its entirety, I wouldn’t be surprised if 85-90%+ of all wireless data goes through wifi and less than 10% through macro-cellular. This is simply the market recognizing that WiFi is government mandated (nearly) infinite spectrum reuse.

This is a good analysis, but it is supply centric. There is a demand element and addressed properly via software (applications, cueing) and marketing (pricing and billing) constructs can be modified to reduce congestion significantly.

Comment on Why Networks Want to Move to Voice Over LTE by InfoStack

The carriers have two transition issues. One is from 2/3G to 4G and the attendant network and device issues. But the bigger issue is pricing; namely voice equivalency pricing of data or vice versa. Aren’t they dangerously close to serious disruption with wifi offload and OTT?

This article deals ONLY with voice over LTE for voice calls and does NOT imply or infer that Public Saftey Voice over LTE is coming anytime soon. They are completely different. Public Saftety voice is for one-to-many on-network communications and off-network communications. Just because VoLTE is coming to commericall networks does NOT mean that Public Safety grade voice services will be avaialble over LTE any time soon.

Comment on Did You Pre-Order a New iPad 3? by Bill Brown

Bill Brown — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 14:16:59 +0000

I hadn’t heard of delays in shipping to pre-order customers. I ordered one online the first night and was having trouble with the Apple Store being swamped. I went into online chat with a service rep and asked whether I should just go wait in line at a store on March 16. She advised that if I did that there would be no guarantee I could get the model I wanted – VZW 4G – and by ordering online I would be guaranteed to get what I wanted on the 16th, delivered right to my house. Currently UPS tracking shows the device was shipped from China, to Hong Kong, to Anchorage, then to Louisville where it hasn’t moved in 24 hours… 2 days from China to KY by Tuesday, but holding 3 days to travel across that last state for Friday delivery? I assume the item I’m tracking is the new iPad, I had ordered nothing else. It looks like my new iPad should be here on the 16th with no delays.
