Abstract
Devices can make or break mobile broadband and related services. Operators
price their services and build applications based on available devices.
Devices attract users to new services. Having the right device can make a
service a success, such as the iPhone, while the wrong device can kill a
service, such as those available to the now defunct Cellular Digital Packet
Data.
Cellular operators are looking at dual-mode phones and femtos, which are
devices that could change how services are offered. For WiMAX, just getting
working devices on the market is needed to get the technology going. Wi-Fi is
popping up all over the place, and this has forced Business IT to deal with
all sorts of new issues.
