Wonderful. Another telcom executive wanting to impose a closed proprietary business model on us.
Sorry, are you referring to me? Where did I say that?
So what is wrong with the business model of wi-fi VOIP handsets?
Nothing. In fact see the Nokia E61, E61i, E65, etc. All with WiFi and built in SIP VoIP capability. Or the Nokia N800 with WiFi and no cellular. I only wish we could sell these devices in the US. The operators are too worried about their current business models.
My point in the posting to IP was that the current buisness models (ISP, Operator, router/switch vendor, device vendor, etc.) lock us into the current internet structure. If we something that is different we can't assume that the current business models are right. I was not arguing for proprietary closed systems.
Bobp.s. This is the first time I have been called a "telcom executive". Do a little research on me and you will see why I find that pretty amusing.

News Reply-To: bob.hinden () nokia com For IP if you like.I like this this "clean slate" approach. However, if there is to be a new Internet it has to be developed without the constraints of the current business models. Otherwise we just get small incremental changes. The current Internet was not designed around the business models of the 1980's. It created it's own business models, but the currents business models lock us into the current Internet.Bob -------------------- Best Regards, Simon Higgs
