Changing the Game

In my previous post, I talked about VOIP as a killer app, one that I think is like a racehorse coming up on the outside lane to disrupt the lead horse. While all the attention today is on the iPhone, and rightly so, it's a beauty, watch for ATT's competitors to counter their "Apple" advantage with some other type of fruit. One of the best ways to compete against an exclusive is to refocus the market on something else. I suspect one of them will try to change the game in some way, sometime in the near term. One way will be to leverage new types of wireless spectrum that do data transmission better than ATT's Edge, like say, for instance, the 700 MHz spectrum coming available soon in an FCC auction.

To better understand the potential inherent in a new type of wireless wavelength technology, I recommend this guide: Obsidian Wings: The Spectrum Auction for Dummies (and by Dummies).

I think you will find it to be a good primer to help the layman understand wireless spectrum, both from a physical and from a political perspective. Check it out!
