The future belongs to broadband, at least for the consumer and SME worldwide. But, why is it that when it comes to connectivity,there are no servers working in broadband environment? Wouldn’t it be nice if the likes of Exchange, Communication 2007 server, Groove server to name a few, could be hosted on the broadband (and of course affordable) so that millions of people worldwide could also enjoy what the corporate users have been enjoying: all-time data access, mobile email, VPN etc…?

We, at Mundial Communications are working on such solutions. Check these screenshots from the launch of our platform in India this week:

with the director of linux international coming up as a barcamper..the barcamptechfest would be the most intensive gyan session a barcamper would ask for ..BarcampTechfest is the third one thats being held in mumbai and barcamp being a part of techfest and IIT Bombay and everything seems to fall into the rite place…the hub of the geeks and a time when IIT Bombay would be having as many as 30000 people coming up .. u cant as k for more ..

I agree with #2 specifically that “successful broadband services providers of the future will be able to mix and match multiple delivery systems just as logistics companies blend road, sea, rail and air.” Great analogy.

What is omitted from your observations, however, is the ability to mix and match media to the different delivery systems and multiplicity of devices used by consumers. Such network and device nimble content is enabled by media encoding/transcoding, and this must become a transparent part of the network and service offering by value-added broadband (and other) service providers.

Like others, I differ with the premise that voice will lead the traffic. It will be data, and increasingly video/media data that will required the most attention. We discuss key trends and infrastructure requirements for new media over these new networks at http://www.inlethd.com/blog

Surprising we haven’t seen the player who really knows how to move information around. My money’s on… Google.

Case in Point:
Item# 2: This piece is confusing and wrong on all counts. First, Broadband is not a distribution system. It is if anything a definition of the bandwidth and or capacity of a distribution network. If you are talking about delivery systems you need to discuss DSL, Cable, Wireless, FTTH etc.

Item# 4 Wholesale revenues for Providers will be neglible and in many cases counter productive. If anyone is to Wholesale anything it would eb a Google who might elect to Wholesale any spectrum they win in the 700Mhz auction to Local Service providers for true Broadband Wireless distribution.
Google will not have to buy anything from the Service Provider. If they want to have access to and or cotnrol the Last Mile they will work hand and hand with Providers and allow them direct access (Fiber links) to their Cloud Computing Data Center and all the COntent/Apps.

Item # 7. VOice is not a catalyst in these networks. Data (IP) is the Catalyst/transport and everything is and will be routed using IP. VOice over these networks will be handled by a QoS feature to ensure prioritization as willGaming and other Video type services.

Item #10. The real market for Broadband Service will evolve around the ISP or SP creating a series of Tiered Service offerings based on priority access to bandwidth and such items as Latency etc. The customer will have a CHOICE as long as they pay for the premium. The SP will create these channels and assign each a Priority level and features. Network Neutrality is one of the most overhyped misunderstood terms in the market today.

Your comparison to trends in the financial sector disturbs me greatly. What a mess… it is all too believable that the future of broadband will be similarly convoluted and disastrous. The problem as I see it is one of too many entrenched interests more interested in protecting captive markets and profits than in implementing real innovation. The classic case is the DSL/phone connection which hooks up to a fiber optic cable mere dozens of feet away. The “phone” company wants to continue its “phone” business model ad infinitum.
