It’s technology uses the the radio frequencies that wireless carriers have paid billions of dollar for.

It would work only with GSM-based devices and would seemingly be a great attractor of lawsuits from wireless companies, however according to ABC News, Borislow claims wireless licenses don’t extend into the home.  Keep a lookout for this device in the spring or summer of this year – this could be very interesting

Because of a lack of bandwidth available and the inability to implement 4G network upgrades any time soon, what does he think is an ideal solution would be?

“Without the proper management of these networks, De la Vega said, regular data users will be ‘crowded out’ by the small number of users [read iPhone users] who use massive amounts of data.  ‘We have to manage the network to make sure that the few cannot crowd out the many,’ De la Vega continued. He said the words ‘crowded out’ at least five times in that part of his keynote address.”

According to PC World’s Mark Sullivan, he seems to think this will mean a “throttling down” of the network.  Yikes.

So with all the talk about the iPhone being available on more networks than AT&T’s this turns into an interesting drama.  Keep your eyes peeled.
