>> [wbmw to 119]: So you see people in the future using handheld devices that receive data from *personally dedicated* servers? I don't think so… I don't see any reason to change the networking infrastructure to support that kind of usage model. It makes more sense to continue to build off the current model and have servers send data to central hubs (hot spots in the wireless world), which would be responsible for establishing the connections that people use. <<

I think the distinction you cite is irrelevant. What is relevant is that, in either of the network models you and 119 present, huge processing power will not be needed in the user’s own device.

How quickly this new computing paradigm will materialize is open to debate. But a trend toward end-user devices with relatively modest processing power seems an inevitable consequence of the wireless-data buildout that is still in its infancy. Dew
