Ericsson today unveiled its "moble triple play" cellular strategy that combines telephony, the Internet and broadcast media (such as television), the Ericsson press release says.
The vision was unveiled at the 3GSM World Congress in Cannes by Hakan Eriksson, Ericsson's chief technology officer. He says in the press release, "Triple play is the trend in the fixed networks, enabled by high data rates.
"With mobility as a key driver for consumer convenience, we believe triple play is now going mobile - we call this Mobile Triple Play. The evolved version of WCDMA with HSDPA is a key enabler for this, offering mobile broadband with data rates similar to fixed broadband....
"Already mobile TV is happening, in form of broadcasted TV and on-demand TV shows adapted to the mobile screen. Ericsson is developing mobile TV products based on 3G, both for broadcast and unicast."
No specifics
Ericsson is, no surprise, poised to provide the infrastructure for this strategy, the company says. I wish the press release would have spelled out some specifics.
Perhaps the speech at the conference was more detailed.
