>>> Il WiFi visto nella sfera di cristallo

Ecco come Vic Hayes, da molti considerato "il padre del WiFi", vede il futuro della sua creturina:

"I see Wi-Fi being used for everything" eventually, says Hayes. Within 5 to 10 years, he predicts, Wi-Fi connection speeds should increase from the current average of 54 megabits per second to hundreds of megabits, thus enabling nifty applications such as real-time video streaming in homes, he says. Users would be able to download movies from satellite or cable feeds, store them on a shared hard drive, and stream them onto TV screens around the house.

Wi-Fi networks could also eventually be used to make phone calls, Hayes believes. Some tech outfits already are working on the early versions of such systems. Calls sent via a Wi-Fi network would be cheap as they would be routed through the Internet instead of over the phone companies' dedicated lines."

Qualcuno di voi pensa che gli operatori nostrani di telefonia mobile permetteranno che la seconda parte della predizione di Hayes si avveri facilmente? Io non riesco in alcun modo a superare il mio scetticismo (accompagnato da pessimismo e fastidio).
