Last year after I got Iron Wil online and started really investing time into it, I wrote an article called Curse of the Mobile Providers<\/a>. In this article, I complained about the current state of mobile service. I talked about the changes coming and that one day mobile phones\/devices would be much more like computers on the internet today.<\/p>\n

Well, Wired<\/a> just backed up my thoughts with an in depth article<\/a> that talks about the changes the iPhone has brought to the wireless world. They also covered the open wireless standards that Verizon (and AT&T) announced late last year [I covered this in Open Wireless Networks!<\/a>]. With mobile phone makers scrambling to make must have devices like the iPhone<\/a>, Wireless providers opening up their networks, the open 700Mhz bandwidth [Google unwires the US?<\/a>], and Google<\/a> releasing Android<\/a> for mobile phones [Google Phone?<\/a>]; My prediction should come true sooner<\/u> than I expected!<\/p>\n

I am really excited about this not because I wrote and have spent time thinking about it, but because it could happen sooner<\/u> then the 3 to 5 years I suggested!<\/p>\n

I salivate at the possibility of taking my mobile phone to whatever carrier I want. Man that just ROCKS!!!<\/p>\n
