Mobile networking

HSDPA or WiMax? Juniper Research says HSDPA will dominate mobile broadband. That is yet to be seen – at a first glimpse, it makes sense: the network is already there; on the other hand – never underestimate the greed of the mobile phone operators :) . Just look at the way that Romtelecom started to loose market share, even though it had a well-established monopoly situation. That should have never happened, theoretically, had they been less greedy – it was extremely hard to compete against Romtelecom. And yet, quite a few companies have started to be very successful, doing just that.

The same may happen to Vodafone, Orange, and the other operators on the “mobile broadband” front – unless they significantly cut the end-customer costs. Assuming that they can do that – because if they can’t, HSDPA is doomed anyway.
