39347: Clerie (Reply): Re: 30343: Durban (comment): Cellphone Impact on Foreign Remittances (fwd)





From philippe@gcal.net


A few months ago, someone on this list advocated improving Teleco's
land lines, claimed no country could develop without a good hardwired
phone system.  Sorry, but that is yesterday's logic.

That depends on how you look at things. For voice communications, cellular
technology is perfectly adequate.

However for eventual broadband telecommunications services (I'm talking 10
megabits per second, which is the minimum you'll get in Korea for example)
you need to be wired. Preferably with fiber optics. Wireless technologies
can't cut it.

Cellular is good now. But for tomorrow?
