Layman explanation: If you’re in between two towers, Skynet^h^h^h^h^h Intucell will determine which to connect you two based on direction of movement, power level and network load.

To be truly self-aware, AT&T’s network would also make contextual decisions based on the types of content and activity occuring. That M2M and document analysis is happening separately; who will end up putting it together?

Kind of a dumb comment, was this technology around and feasible when the 3G network was being rolled out?

It’s about time. You would think att would’ve invested in this during their snafu-filled 3g network. Pathetically behind the times; closing the barn door after the horses have fled.

I feel like the emphasis on the organic / self-aware nature of these networks is a bit over-hyped. Now, if the units picked themselves up and moved to a new location to manage load, I’d be impressed. :)
