On the other side of the fence…

On the other side of the fence from this ‘Microhoo’ situation, I believe the following will come to be over with Google, Apple and AT&T:

AT&T will work on developing stronger ties with Apple inside their current partnership. We all hope that things only get stronger for the iPhone on AT&T. This will evolve into a working relationship in the area of the 700mhz spectrum. AT&T will get Apple’s appetite wetted for using the available blocks to get into Android alongside Google. Apple will drag AT&T into the Android Google field as it has shown interest in knocking other companies out of D block bidding by themselves not bidding. AT&T then wants to go on and develop their own strategic relationship (possible alliance) with Google to provide a pure feed to access Google’s own mobile internet.

If you remember, Google was buying up all those old cables across the United States. Attaching their massive network of super computers to these cables would be enough to build their own “Googlenet” that can be accessed on Apple Devices. It can also be reached running an Android-Google-OpenSocial-OpenPlatform device so created by various other companies can compete with Apple and with Microsoft-Yahoo! Devices. You see, Yahoo! will bring to Microsoft a suite of media services and an enormous user base that it can latch onto its mobile OS.

Microsoft will now also apparently have a hand in the development of devices such as Side-Kick. This will of course have the effect of finally driving people from 2g to 2.5g and through into full 3g, which is perfect as our infrastructure greatly needs investment. We will consequently begin to run WiFi much more on devices, hopefully pushing the gradual jumps into the 700mhz blocks and encouraging both the blending of WiFi and Bluetooth and the development and growth of WiMAX.

If only…
