\u201cThe future<\/span> is here. It’s<\/span> just not widely distributed yet.\u201d
\nWilliam<\/span> Gibson<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Today I<\/span> woke up with a scenario in my head where I<\/span> could travel all<\/span> around the world being able to contact my friends<\/span> and family, watch TV, listen to music,<\/span> transfer files, contact my customers, pay my bills, look for<\/span> maps, read the news,<\/span> go shopping, take pictures, record videos, read books, play some games, pay my drinks, no matter where, no matter when with one single device.
\n\"\"
\nWell, the future<\/span> is here! One device, one network, one standard.<\/span> The device is called PDA, the network is Internet and the standard<\/span> is WiMAX.<\/p>\n

Today, I<\/span> saw the announcement of NXP (the world’s 10th biggest chip maker):
\n“The design is extremely small and it<\/span> can live off battery power. There are companies working on similar integrated<\/span> chips, but we’re already in mass production,” said WiMAX Marketing<\/span> Manager Ruud van den Brink.<\/p>\n

This chip fully supports 802.16e, which is the IEEE WiMAX standard<\/span> for<\/span> mobility. Hand-off\/Handover is fully supported, so you can move freely with your portable device without loosing connection.<\/p>\n

Imagine a massive adoption, like the GSM<\/span> adoption in Europe,<\/span> where you could move from different countries \u201croaming\u201d your internet connection and using all the<\/span> services mentioned above. Imagine just having to pay your internet access and being able to get in contact with other people<\/span> for<\/span> free.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, there are right now entire cities covered with WiMAX, there are right now the mobile<\/span> devices to connect to these networks. All the<\/span> content is out there: books, internet banking, web shops, YouTube (now Google\u2019s), internet radio, Skype, etc\u2026 It\u2019s just distribution missing, and when it<\/span> is about technology,<\/span> it<\/span> is fast! So start making some savings because these devices are not cheap but they worth every cent you pay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
