Wireless networks are not enough
So when was the last time you spent a decent amount of time talking to your acquaintances on your good ol’ landline? Hard to remember, right? And to think that a little over a decade back, a mobile was supposed to be the privilege of the ridiculously rich.
As per data revealed by the CIA fact book, total number of mainlines in use in 2005 was 1,263,367,600 while number of mobile cellular users reached 2,168,433,600. While the total number of land line connections in China is 365.4 million, mobile connectivity was galloping ahead with 547.286 million in 2007. In US, the number of land lines is 163.2 million with 255 million mobile users. If these figures are stark, then the Indian context is shocking! While total number of land line connections in India is 37.75 million in 2009, mobile connections reached 362.3 million.
However, that does not in any way mean that we would be getting rid of wires; as we need to move beyond the concept of communication being predominantly restricted to voice. The wireless infrastructure has to be supported with a wireline infrastructure as well.
