cut them off at the network... NYC are talking to the wrong people they need to speak to GSM and CTIA.

they do it in Europe as well the USA is very slow about this...

" Carriers AT&T and T-Mobile offer a joint database, as the carriers use the same basic networking technology. Verizon and Sprint offer a second database. By the end of November 2013, the four carriers will combine databases, and adding smaller carriers like Nex-Tech and Cellcom. Plans exist to link the US database with an international version hosted by the GSM Association to prevent stolen phones from being shipped to overseas markets and used on other networks."

a good specification can be written, only difference is then translating that into machine code and proof is relatively easy

in fact IBM etc tried and was successful in producing a model that worked only thing was it took someone who knew how to write the specification in a formal language and guess what... those very same people with those skills where programmers/engineers that the "management" got annoyed about after they told them to do things like please produce a "traffic control optimisation system" (in relation to what...).

all I can say really is "do not be a DICK"

its 2 Kilometres distance so its a repackaging of WiMAX... and we all know how well that turned out...

now personally I prefer the 1.05 Petabit/s that fibre will provide... though thats in development oh wait thats what this wireless speed is in "development"

includes broadcast

basically you need to figure out the phy/eth portion of the network not the software side

so if you can do SDN/Software defined radio and come up with a nice way to scale then your good

I would have thought that zigbee / sensor networks would already scale you just have to boost range but hey thats me just guessing

Thats nice I still don't understand why my tax's are spent on OS license only for the users to login to web applications

Linux supports kerberos so authentication is not a problem its down to choices and management

what would be interesting would be what applications they need to run... is there a list somewhere ?

ARM based servers already has file server cluster design win's

http://www.eetimes.com/electronics-news/4407353/Baidu-taps-Marvell-for-32-bit-ARM-storage-server

what will be intresting is ability to leverage designs for phones as clusters because then you can use the volume e.g. SOC for phones costs $20 roughly so imagine filling a DC with those...
