What will happen once Wi-Fi becomes a common feature of mobile phones? Prices for phones calls (esp. roaming) will drop dramatically. Will this be an opportunity for new types of mobile phone services? Most definitely so. Alexander Straub and Marc Samwer are certainly not the only ones thinking in this direction. This session at Kinnernet was charged with conflicting view points of how the mobile market will evolve (and revolutionized) in the next 1-3 years. The most dramatic scenarios painted during the session included the collapse of the telcos as we know them.
