Gaping hole in models for using spectrum efficiently Zippy interviews me on Mobile TV Off for three days in Loma Linda California Broadband penetration vs. broadband capabilities Most cell sites have only one or two T1/E1 links, or less A few Notes from eComm Two weeks in California — eComm, VON and other meetings Woman in High Tech — Is it getting better? Broadband Access — What should we regulate? T-Ring: Audio logos promote mobile operator brands

NMS Communications, a supplier of communications platforms for service providers, has studied the details of the Internet backbone from an architectural, operational and business relationships perspective. In an earlier session Thursday at eComm 2008 he pointed out that most cell tower sites in the U.S. have only one or two T1/E1 connections resulting in a bandwidth of 1.5 or 3 Mbps connection to the Internet for wireless phone users: Continue reading "Skype on Mobile: North American Carriers' Backhaul is the Ultimate Bottleneck" »

the 3 Skypephone in those countries where it is available, full mobility with VoIP on the handset is still some time away, especially in the U.S. Skype is monitoring the situation but with issues such as not only insufficient handset resources but also having only a T1 backhaul line to the Internet from cell phone towers, there simply is not the wireless network infrastructure and capacity in place to support any reasonable volume of VoIP calls over wireless with sustainably acceptable quality. Only when these cell phone towers start to deploy fiber for the backhaul
