Mobile broadband will take over the ‘outmoded’ Wifi Hotspots’ position. That’s what the Ericsson Chief Marketing Officer Johan Bergendahl stated at the conference in Stockholm. However this statement doesn’t surprise some people who have predicted it a while ago. Bergendahl also said that hot spots at places like Starbucks are becoming the telephone boxes of the broadband era and in a few years [HSPA] will be as common as Wi-Fi is today. Leading to that widespread use, he says, is ever-decreasing prices for mobile broadband subscriptions, and the fact that HSPA is being built into more and more laptops. Of course, if other companies have their way, WiFi hotspots could become a thing of the past simply because entire cities would effectively be one huge hotspot, although we’d gladly take both options.
