Headline: The Free Global Wireless World : The New "Ether"Net Connects Everything
Nutshell: The huge spread of a global, free internet via satellite will turn everyone and every device into a server and enrich a new concept for connectivity.
Vision:The single most powerful concept that will change the world and how we interact with it will be the widespread and eventual worldwide connectivity to the internet via mobile airwaves of many kinds. This will most definitely begin the second great evolution of the "web" from a text-based system to a rich data-exchange system, with new protocols, new media, and new data types. The ability for personal mobile networks connected to our bodies (as mini-servers) via personal micro-devices means we can roam physically and carry our networks with us, allowing our mobile devices to communicate on-the-fly with local as well as reginal networks, offering up products, alerts, store sales, coupons, announcments and a very rich set of interactions tied to us personally anbd customized for us. This consumption of data will be huge and require a very rich set of devices and tool to help us manage the large volumes of informations digested by our personal devices, all centered around the user.
