Paul Luff on the State of the Mobile Industry

Paul Luff recently released this diatribe about the state of Mobile and the future of the industry:

Mobile & wireless technology has the strength to break whatever barriers to entry that may still exist within the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector at large. But there is never growth without some pain, never progress without sacrifice and one has to consider the bare facts before jumping on the popular technology bandwagon.

Wireless or non-wired technology has emerged as a popular conduit through which individuals and companies now network and communicate. The market has really grown beyond the expectations of even technology vendors themselves.

It makes sense if one considers the lack of wired infrastructure and its associated limitations. It seems like skeptics are quickly reminded by the market of the lower cost of going wireless as well as the convenience of mobility and increase in productivity.

Few would argue with the explosive nature of digital lifestyle technology, bolstered by the need for immediate connectivity, accessibility and functionality. The consumer demands these qualities within infrastructure and they do not want to pay too much for it. That is a global trend that has also taken root in South Africa.
