Wired - Nicholas Negroponte - Being Wireless
"EVERYTHING you assumed about telecommunications is about to change. Large wired and wireless telephone companies will be replaced by micro-operators, millions of which can be woven into a global fabric of broadband connectivity."
He's talking about the Wi-Fi networks that everyone, including myself and load of friends, are installing in their homes and attaching to their cable / DSL Internet connections. Paul K., Mac enthusiast and not-the-pebble-man-anymore, has one because the connectivity is baked into all his Macs. I've got one to shoot for a dream of blogging anywhere in the house (especially outdoors, under the stars, Doc-like). But the ramifications of using this outside of the walls of all our own Casa Chaos' are pretty deep. A new telecommunications network.
And John Robb does a little deep thinking of his own on the subject...
"This also may be a way to route around censorship that media companies want to install on wireline networks."
