Description:

WiMax or WLL is fast growing technologies that replace Wifi local networks. It has a greater capacity than 3rd generation (UMTS) mobile networks and is cheaper to realize. (50+ Mbit/sec versus 1/2 Mbit/sec) It gives new players access to the mobile telecommunication services and market. It is however a new unproven technology without applications and services, yet. Access to capital is needed for such networks.

Enablers:

Factors which strengthen this driving force

  1. Location based services
  2. Lower costs of chips
  3. UMTS disaster
  4. Economic growth,
  5. Applications mobile services
  6. Role of the women
  7. Aging population

Inhibitors:

Factors which weaken this driving force.

  1. Disruptive Technological developments Satellite networks(!),
  2. Sustainable Technological Development 4th Generation Mobile Networks(!),
  3. Standards,
  4. Mergers and Alliances (diversification and vertical integration),
  5. Technology Adaptation,
  6. Payment Service Provider,
  7. Privacy

Paradigms:

Old: Tecommunication is done with a telcommunication company
New: Wifi local networks are already a good alternative for mobile telecom services that is provided by the operators.

Experts:

Sources for additional information about this driving force. (if you have found people, put the links to them)

Timing:

2004 The first UMTS networks are now live
2004 Construction of bigger hotspots for WLL

Web Resources:

Link - International Engineering Consortium description of WLL
WiFi - description of the WiFi standard
The Cloud - Europe's biggest WLL provider
