anuseems Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) According to the Wall Street Journal, the recently paired Comcast and Time Warner Cable will team up with Charter Communications, Microsoft and Google; together they plan to launch a coalition called WifiForward asking for more public access Wi-Fi.MFrom Techradar:The companies supposedly plan to demand an increase of more unlicensed spectrum for Wi-Fi usage from the government.The call for more Wi-Fi bandwidth is a preemptive move to get ahead of the inevitable network congestion as more devices join the airwaves. By the numbersLast year Cisco systems accounted that the average US mobile user ate up 1.4 gigabytes data month. Even with the wide spread availability of LTE, 57% of all that data usage is still carried by Wi-Fi.http://www.techradar.com/news/networking/wi-fi/google-and-microsoft-to-go-on-a-wi-fi-offensive-in-washington-1224629 Edited February 14, 2014 by anuseems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
