Subject: Re: Voice over IP in Android
Yes, I live in Sweden. I'm not very familiar with what kind of
technologies exist at the moment though it appears to me that wireless technology has not followed the same kind of exponential delevopment we see in computing power and capacity which to a remarkably high degree has followed Moore's law. This doesn't exclude however a sudden leap in wireless technology. What I would like to see is cost- effective and extremely fast wireless TCP/IP technology in the near future. Look at all those wireless phone bills you mentioned. The average family pays a lot for something that improvement in technology could provide for a much lower cost. And what about some companies? Their wireless phone bills must be huge. On Jan 18, 7:01 pm, JP <Joachim.Pfeif...@gmail.com> wrote:
