Internet access is becoming a tremendous issue for (American) cellular providers (I can't speak for the rest of the world's markets). The technology is there to allow them to effectively be wireless ISPs with extremely wide coverage, but the infrastructure most likely isn't up to snuff for that, and there's potentially more money to be made by nickel-and-diming for everything through a closed and restrictive service rather than act as a dumb pipe to the internet. There's some pretty strong demand though for just that, though, a widespread wireless dumb pipe to the internet.
I suspect that there's gonna be some pretty interesting changes to the industry over the next few years. Will we perhaps transition away from cellular phone service providers to something else?
