[...] It’s possible that some early standard of VoLTE will appear on the ThunderBolt, but my money is on a multiple radio solution that totally separates voice and data to handle simultaneous use. And if I’m correct that means you’ll only be able to talk and surf on such devices where you have both 3G and LTE coverage. Consider it a stop-gap measure until a true VoLTE standard evolves, which gives Verizon more time to build out its LTE network. [...]

The article is ok… I think fragmentation could have been spoken more to though in the way of recreating the old (or maintaining) CDMA v the world approach to US telecommunications. LTE/IMS will bring the US into a truly transparent world of international telecommunications. AT&T is there but because of CDMA, there are about 100 million americans that has to stay in the country or drop there carrier to go international. Verizon’s World phones don’t count because they are basically two phones in one and that’s stupid or a kluge.

This maneuver also allows the carriers to effectively kick the proverbial “can” down the road. Way down the road per Verizon beyond 2020. The carriers would prefer LTE be what it is wireless broadband which is equivalent to DSL or Cable. The mass are getting a head of their selves thinking carrier really want to innovate. Innovation take money and that is not what fat cats do, spend money. There are may advancements that never happened and no one remembers what they were. Take Google Voice which is an outdated platform from the late 90′s marketed by Glenayre call PNS (Personal Number Service). AT&T’s voicemail to text was being done by Wildfire back in the mid-90′s. Moore’s Law does not apply to telecom companies. They always bring up something old and tell you it’s new. I bet if you start flicking through Bell Labs patents, you will find crap from the 50′s being fed to the unknowing masses hunger for nothing new but something different. It’s that old story of having something the other guy doesn’t and not creating something new that only you have. Do you like vintage car? :)

WiMax is 4G but these standards wouldn’t apply. WiMax is based on WiFi or that 802.x stuff and these are true carrier grade telecommunications standards for voice ie CDMA, GSM, UMTS, etc. WiMax is effectively data only like that stupid 2G EvDO stuff that Verizon pawns off as 3G data. In short, WiMax is 4G data. LTE is being marketed as a ubiquitous transport for telecommunications voice and data networks.

OneVoice is SIP or VoIP. What you want is what has been agreed to by these carriers. The problem is what type of client will be supported on the handset because the carriers will have to adjust the CoS for that protocol to monitor the QoS of the packet transmission.

personally i would like to see carrier voice disappear all together, give us dumb pipes and than we be put whatever voice service we choose ‘over the top.’ that might be skype,, google voice, truphone or even some tiny unheard of SIP operation that few other people even knows exists.

Interesting article. The OneVoice specs are quite interesting.

A very interesting article about Voice and LTE’s possible impact on mobile voice business is at http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2009/1116/technology-mobile-4G-telephony-metropcs.html.

WiMax is 4G too so will One Voice spur handset deployment in Sprint/Clearwire network? Beside the missing T-mobile, where’s Huawei, the Chinese LTE infrastructure manufacturer who has won several contracts across European countries?
