The CTO of Verizon says video and mobility are telecom’s transformational drivers, dictating everything that consumers want. He explains how the latency in LTE, coupled with higher speeds, will finally bridge the user experience gap between mobile and fixed, and provide a comparable service level. But collaboration between multiple partners is also important, in order to provide a seamless experience to customers.

M2M, especially, will need marginal cost-based Wi-Fi or Super Wi-Fi. Also, Cisco's data show that all the most powerful devices today use Wi-Fi exclusively and that all this traffic bypasses cellnets like VZW's so they never see it, don't even get to offload it, and cannot monetize it. Mapped onto the Moore Curve, cellular is core-driven, like a mainframe, in a post PC world. There is no way to bridge this gap. Indeed, Cisco told us recently that cellnet costs and revenues will cross going the wrong way as soon as 2016 unless there is a replacement for average cost-based architectures. Wi-Fi is now the growth market in wireless and VZW will have to figure out a Wi-Fi strategy if it is to remain a top player in wireless.
