Introduction of greenhouse gases emissions trading

Description:

The Kyoto Protocol intended to thwart global warming has been ratified in November 2004. Based on this agreement, greenhouse gases emission trading would be intensified soon. This might be able to create new market in terms of business as well as Internet. Internet can support this either by the media of trading emissions directly or the means of reducing emissions.

WiMax or WLL is fast growing technologies that replace Wifi local networks. It has a greater capacity then 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.
