It appears BT is trying to successfully converge Cellular and WiFi networks. I do not agree how they are going about it. It would make sense for an existing wireless carrier to utilize an existing infrastruce and piggy back WiFi onto it. BT doesn't have a Cellular network and will rely on a GSM resell agreements for the cellular piece and deploy WiFi hotspots. Am I missing something? Please read
How does Bluephone work?
The original idea for Bluephone was to have a normal cellphone which can send calls via a special Bluetooth base station when inside the house or office. BT chose Bluetooth for the job, because it supports cordless telephony, is less power-hungry than Wi-Fi, and is almost universally available in mobile phones.
Bluephone is a consumer service, and BT intends to deliver it on absolutely standard cellphones.
