And new innovations such as printed circuit technology and the white space radio spectrum (transmitting data over unused TV channel airwaves as we switch from analogue to digital TV) are all helping to create a world where everything can talk to everything else, and everything to us.
Rather, they see their task as managing spectrum so that it usage remains as efficient as technology allows.
This means more cell towers, more small cells, more Wi-Fi, more advanced technology like LTE and MIMO, more spectrum, and of course more investment.
The advantage of this new technology is that you can vary the spectrum use in either direction to maximize for the traffic you are carrying.
This means more cell towers, more small cells, more Wi-Fi, more advanced technology like LTE and MIMO, more spectrum, and more Ethernet optical fiber links connecting all these wireless and data center nodes.
