Broadband Access Needs to Be Ubiquitous ... Uh, Yeah ...

Here's a good link to see what Intel had to say about mobility and the Internet at CES last week: Intel's Paul Otellini keynote at CES, videos and all

Here's CNet's coverage of Otellini's address (two excerpts below).

However, such change will not happen unless four obstacles are overcome, Otellini cautioned. Silicon needs to become more powerful and energy efficient; broadband access needs to be ubiquitous; the Internet needs to be infused with a sense of context; and user interfaces need to be more natural. He exhorted the audience members to take on the challenge of overcoming those hurdles.

And here's the money quote, IMHO.

"We're now in the midst of the largest opportunity to redefine consumer electronics and entertainment since the introduction of the television," Otellini said. "Increasingly, computing and communications are coming together, bringing a new level of capabilities and intelligence to the Internet experience. The personal Internet of tomorrow will serve you - delivering the information you want, when you want it, how you want, wherever you are."
