Mobile phones which include FMC technology are due to arrive soon. Of course we are all eagerly anticipating this technology, which innovates past voice vs. data vs. accessibility complaints.
“It’s apparent that in order for FMC to really take off, there needs to exist a reasonable variety of handsets that provide the functionality and user experience that we’ve all come to know and love.” — FMC technologist
FMC requires only a few items to hit the marketplace in force:
- An open mobile handset platform, for third party application development
- A service provider which supports open access to the third party applications or integrated applications, with an upgraded network
- Users who request– or, demand– the convergent features (such as, the freedom to roam seamlessly between service platforms such as the ability to send voice instant messages to corporate-level coworkers from a personal mobile phone while laying on a beach in Santa Barbara)
“Soon” depends on only these factors.
