Executives are not prescient, and companies need market input to migrate successfully. Cutting new products and technologies is not going to provide the elements needed to success – good scenario planning, obsessive competitor understanding, willingness to be disruptive and using White Space to understand market needs. Motorola’s new plan misses most of the requirements. Read more at http://www.ThePhoenixPrinciple.com

Even when you go a little faster on the Autobahn it works nice but there is still a way to go in order to create a real demand.

We went up to 120 kilometers per hour on the highway with a LTE equipped car. They made perfect handovers between their three LTE radio cells which froze our HD video conference inside the car only for one second. During the HD video conference we also saw HD IPTV with 150 channels – two HD streams simultaneously.

Funnily 20 Mbps downlink and 6 Mbps uplink was enough for that while driving. With a stationary device we got 150 Mbps downloads and 50 Mbps uploads. This technology really works like charm, only that LTE handsets still have the size of a suitcase.

But, I know there is a market for people like me who want to stream live events with decent quality video. The carriers should open up and offered a tiered rate for people like me that need more uplink bandwidth. The carriers need to think outside of their bubble and realize that the Internet is more than Vcast and Youtube…

I consume far more info on my PC than on my mobile, but I certainly send more photos, movies, status updates etc from my mobile. But what do you think the average person actually does? Not sure if they care yet.

Let me know when we can stream our own video @ 1MB, and then we can get excited. Otherwise it’s the same old tired story…

Thought this was going towards the use of HD video streaming for teleconferencing via mobile phones.
