1st wave of a future I predicted has come…
Thursday, November 16th, 2006 | Helpful
I once predicted that wifi access would cover the globe and then everybody will use VOIP based cell phones and make free calls instead of paying some bastard cell phone company for a 2 year contract and a ton of moola each month. I said that it would be google that blanketed the earth in wifi first. If google does it, it will be free, because they will find a way to sneak google ad’s in (though others would find a way to block them out).
Well folks, it has begun. Tonight I read in my Maximum PC about 2 Mobile Skype Phones. If you don’t know what skype is, you haven’t been on the internet this year. It gives you free phone calls to the US, Canada and Mexico.. and though it primarily works like an instant messenger where you have a buddy list and can text or call people on your list, skype offers you the option to get an actual phone number for your account. Doing so allows everybody on earth to use their normal phones to call your computer’s skype phone.
Well now there are little wifi based cell phones for skype by netgear and other companies. Now they cost as much as a normal cell phone and at this point I would still consider them pointless since google has not yet blanketed the world in free wifi (though they have portland and a few other places…), but it too shall happen…. and THEN no more $125/mo phone bills for me.
Muwahahaha
