With the advent of nimbuzz, meebo, ebuddy all serving as connectors to yahoo, msn, facebook, twitter it makes such a world possible and everybody happy.

Subscribers:
” you can skype someone in Ubekizatrazastan to organize
nuclear weapons… at the some cost as your mate in the
backyard while asking him what beer he was asking you to
get ”

Networks:
“make the enormous amounts of money”

How?
You buy data packages and Yes you can do voice too.

Some good points there! Many people know about IM systems such as skype. They are very very resonable yet people do need to be informed about the great expenses of SMS and GSM in South Africa. Mxit will evolve too into Voice I believe eventually and that will cause a storm in the Cellular Market!

The only problem is we need a unified system, a unified skype so to speak. If someone was clever they would approach the Cellular providers and say “ok, I have a an application that uses a users number as user name, and sim-card pin as the password. The application uses data to call/message people, and will run in the background. All phones will become preinstalled with the application.”

Once there’s a mass adoption of this, the normal GSM networks will become more and more redundant (which they already are, just no one wants to take the initiative).

The only hindering issue with this is that the Networks won’t make the enormous amounts of money, however, it will make a step in the right direction, and could be used as a nice medium to make the world smaller than it already is (you can skype someone in Ubekizatrazastan to organize nuclear weapons… at the some cost as your mate in the backyard while asking him what beer he was asking you to get).

The only way this will work is if there’s a mass adoption of this service. The Network providers will just become wireless ISPs, and that means all they need are massive servers and wide coverage.
