I was reading a story today about “Ultra Wideband” or UWB. The CIO Tech Informer refers to this as Super Bluetooth. According to CIO Magazine, SK Telecom is going to use this EC approved, fast wireless technology. Once referred to as, “pulse-radio” this protocol has been beaten back by phone vendors that haven’t figured out how to capitalize on the increase in speed it will bring it’s users. Someone please tell these companies, “it’s ok to innovate again.”
That’s just what SK Telecom is doing. They’re figuring out ways to make our lives better through bandwidth. Can I get an Amen!?
Think in terms of personal area networks, things like sharing music and videos when your phone tells you a friend is in the area. Think in terms of earning revenue when those files are bought further down the line. If that doesn’t convince you, think in terms of GPS capability on your phone that can connect you with a doctor and a helicopter if necessary when you’re having a stroke and there’s no one else around.
From where there’s no one else around on the Big Island of Hawai`i, this is Brent Norris for the World Organization of Webmasters and the Wow Technology Minute.
