Dr. Martin Cooper: The father of the mobile phone weighs in on the state of the wireless industry
A very insightful interview on below fundamental problems
1. Most cell phone conversations are held indoors, yet all the base stations and towers are located outdoors.
2. The Internet proved that an open network will invite a myriad of applications to serve the needs of just about everyone, yet the wireless industry still clings to the “walled garden” idea of closed networks and development.
3. The idea behind efficient wireless signal transmission is to deliver radio frequency energy to specific individuals at the time each individual’s device needs to transmit or receive information, yet wireless signals are constantly broadcast every which way, in all directions, which is a really inefficient way to connect.
4. Phones are primarily used (70% of the time) to talk and listen, secondarily for text messages (which use small bandwidth), and tertiary for e-mail (which uses small to medium bandwidth), yet we, as consumers, get constantly bombarded with marketing for expensive high speed data services that people don’t use all that often.
5. When purchasing devices, consumers are persuaded that they are getting something for nothing and then urged to throw their old devices away.
