The Impact of a Global Wireless Internet

Now think about what is about to happen with this Mobile Network.

When operations are initiated in an area - the Network Operation Centre (NOC) is built first. This is the hub from which Repeater Towers radiate. At this point it is believed that the number and location of Affiliates will dictate when and where Repeater Towers will extend the Array within the NOC operational parameters. These parameters are not dependant upon user load but more to do with accounting and general business operations. Theoretically, the Array could be extended into infinity.

This technology, together with the resources available, will accommodate bandwidth demands without degradation from the amount of simultaneous users connecting. So, if you are subscribed to a T-1 connection, then, that is what you will have - 1.5+ mbs upstream and 1.5+ mbs downstream connectivity. The same applies to a T-3 subscription at 44+ mbs.

The Wi-Fi signal is secured with better than a 128-bit SSL encryption - so no firewall hardware is required.

There is no question that standardization is necessary for global mobile Internet operability just as roads are the essential infrastructure for automobiles to drive on.

The information superhighway is essential to the unification of the global Internet community and when the world discovers a global wireless network that can get them to where they want to go more effectively, more completely, more cheaply and even provide an income - the demand will be predictable.

Current Wi-Fi hot-spots can provide broadband access but who is going to unify all the disparate protocols or has the investment resources to gamble that present technology will, or can be, universally accepted?

The cell-phone Industry has laid the foundation for us to appreciate the 'mobile' trend but its technology and the reality of competing monopolies severely limit the realization of a Global Wireless Internet.

Satellite Internet can beam directly to a stationary receiver at broadband speed but satellite technology requires ‘line of sight’ between satellite and dish receiver. For certain applications the transmission distances (the signal travels up to the satellite and then back down to a dish receiver) pose a real problem. This 'high latency' is unacceptable for users who demand real-time response (e.g. gamers). These limitations may be acceptable for Satellite Television and Satellite Radio but not for Satellite Internet.

Satellite radio services such as XM Radio and Sirius are not transmitting directly to subscribers but (like cellular networks) they use an extensive ground network of repeaters, which rebroadcast the satellite signal to the mobile digital radio receivers.

For these reasons Satellite Internet will never achieve mass acceptance for users who will come to expect their connectivity to be fast, accessible and truly mobile.

Local radio broadcasters and Internet radio providers will quickly adapt to the Mobile Internet because it will facilitate enhanced mobility, deliver digital quality, extend user function, widen artistic expression and expand listener’s horizons. Radio broadcasters who are still using analogue technology are facing the looming prospect of regulatory agencies mandating digital implementation. Going 'digital' is very costly and so this Wi-Fi Network may well be the answer for these companies.

The Cable Industry is limited by its cables and the Phone Industry by its wires. They definitely are not a mobile technology. The technological trend has always moved society toward a communications convergence - with the inevitable and ultimate destination being the mobility pinnacle.

There will always be specialized needs for wires and cables but in terms of mass acceptance these Industries will have difficulty retaining the majority of their present subscriber base. Unless they integrate them with this mobile technology through the Privately Branded ISP program their customers will eventually migrate to the Mobile Internet through grassroots association with ItsYourNet Affiliates.

Cable Television is beginning to deliver High Definition programming but given the limitations of their technology and a subscriber base circumscribed by the last mile of cable how are they going to compete with a Mobile Internet Network capable of delivering High Definition Data Streams - anywhere?

How is Broadcast TV going to continue in their present structure when - even now - they can no longer maintain market share already slipping away due to Satellite, Cable and the Internet.

These are just a few examples of how this Mobile Internet will impact the world.

As we move forward the ramifications will become more apparent.
