Wi-Fi The Future of Wireless Technology
The scientist who innovated wireless technology that removed wires from
offices and made our smartphones capable of sending and receiving high
definition images is now turning his sights to how consumers buy mobile
service.
Greg Raleigh, one of the pioneers of the wireless industry, said he
expects being able to pay for a mobile data plan a la carte will be a leading
trend in 2015 and beyond.
Raleigh's latest venture, ItsOn, offers technology that can be partnered
with a large wireless carrier, allowing users to purchase exactly what they
need at a granular level.
Need for Speed
Expect to see 4G LTE -- the service that makes mobile Internet painless
-- continue to expand.
Raleigh said he expects over 50% of markets will have the faster
service by the end of 2015, but it gets better.
The Next Billion
Consumer choice isn't just for users who have their smartphones glued to
their hands. Raleigh said he expects the ability to buy at a granular level
will be "the on-ramp to the Internet that is going to connect the next
billion users."
