But also I appreciate this smarter move from Nokia!!Jesshttp://www.eexploria.com/wireless-charging-technology-in-nokia-920-and-820/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17500930.post-42659582504192319532012-09-06T13:20:50.635+01:002012-09-06T13:20:50.635+01:00The "power as ubiquitous as Wi-Fi" is a ...The "power as ubiquitous as Wi-Fi" is a nice vision. I'd see it as another venue amenity (cost built into overall biz model) -vs- a standalone paid service in the long term. I'm onboard with the "powerspot" label.<br /><br />It struck me that if this widespread powerspot vision were realized, it would be yet another available public service for your mobile that has nothing to do with an MNO. In a few short years, we've transitioned from a world in which the MNO controlled virtually your entire experience on the handset (admittedly, not the charging of it) to one where much(most?) of what you do with your mobile has nothing to do with your MNO (Wi-Fi, apps, app stores, etc...).<br /><br />I believe there are some profound implications of that shift in psychology. It is more aligned with a "bring your own phone"/prepaid/no-contract model and it supports the evolving view of licensed carriers as just another access network option.
