"Here's what's going on. For its own capitalistic
reasons, Microsoft wants universal broadband access
at $40 or less per month. It also wants to sell Windows
NT and BackOffice to network operators. So it came up
with a way to create a wireless "service bureau." Called
WirelessKnowledge, this partnership with Qualcomm
will let other carriers buy wholesale access and put
their own brand on it. Click for more.
The partnership is producing:
- An infrastructure (for billing, security,
management, etc.) so it doesn't have to be
reinvented each time.
- A technology agnostic platform, to end the
alphabet soup of competing, incompatible
wireless standards
- A broad base of tools and developers
- A viable business model
The last point is the key."
