The ability to roam freely is quickly going to be an issue with all the new phones (Maemo,Moblin,Android,iPhone,…) coming out with Wi-Fi and VoIP and whatnot!
Cheers!

WalkingHotSpot: Cellphone as Access Point

“WalkingHotSpot transforms 3G/Wi-Fi smartphones into hotspots. It enables multiple client devices (laptops, MP3 players, gaming devices, etc.) to connect to the Internet anywhere there is mobile network coverage. The application is said to be designed to be power-efficient, robust and end-user friendly.”

I see an amazing opportunity in the transportation sector — using an OS mesh in cars to do congestion pricing and road pricing. See my blog on this here:

Meraki and Open-Mesh have the right price points. Can we get them to do hand-offs in cars? Remember that the average speed in a city is 15 mph.
