I think we will start moving away from wireless networks and onto copper, fiber. One problem with wireless will be base station capacity so max throughputs will be for domestic packages and experience similar to 3g, not exceeding 30-50KBps at peak times/ 100-120Kbps off peak while egde 10-20KBps at peak times/ 32-48KBps off peak . Wireless for those on frame relay DLCI type of ccts will not be an issue though max capacity is 8Mbit/s 

 

Interesting times ahead, Orange had an advert today for its ADSL service and its coverage areas. Most ISPs am sure are already geared up and revving to go.

 

Who takes the convergence pioneer prize as internet is no longer a subject to talk about in the next 12 months? Voice, Data, Video? IPTV and setup top boxes?

 

DTSV, local channels should be considering using fiber to push their content. Example : For news coverage of events from parliament, uhuru park and such, get fiber pops with streaming encoders equipment with AV outputs.

 

What about services like hosted services, I hope improve there will be improvement ( if not, expect competition down the long road 12-36 months eg : VOIP hosted and billing, exchange, mail, document design & printing, data warehousing, remote services, photo developing all done online. )?

 

Now the real thing takes off and we should start pushing the envelope!  :-)
