Beijing time on December 23, according to foreign media reports, because Donald Trump (Donald Trump) was elected the new US president and 5G mobile technology is getting more and more attention, the transformation of the mobile industry is imperative. This may mean that everything will change from service provider to quality of service. Trump may be an elusive president-elect, but this will not prevent us from exploring the future from the "crystal ball." Here are the top seven trends in the mobile industry in 2017:
2017 wireless network speed will be faster
1, free traffic will be more
Thanks to Trump's successful election, you may see more "free" services where wireless data is not calculated based on user traffic restrictions. AT&T's new DirecTV Now service is an example. Even if they have traffic restrictions, users can download as many videos as they want. Verizon is also trying the same route and launching the Go90 video service.
Another telecom operator, Mobile, has a service called BingeOn, which claims to be different because it provides free traffic to external video services like Netflix and YouTube, not just its own. Comcast expects to launch streaming TV services next year, which will be accessible to anyone with Internet access. This service will not cost money as long as it is viewed through Home Broadband or Comcast's wireless service. Comcast's wireless service will be launched next summer.
Although users are happy with getting "free" traffic, critics have warned that this is not good for competition. If you are satisfied with the service of DirecTV Now, will you still use the services of other companies? In the end, I am afraid that consumers will pay a higher price and there will be fewer innovative services.
Tom Wheeler, the outgoing US Federal Communications Commission chairman, has always questioned free data services. Earlier this month, the Federal Communications Commission even criticized AT&T for violating the principle of network neutrality and offering DirecTV Now products. However, with the appointment of the new FCC chairman appointed by Trump, the principle of net neutrality may be abolished, and free traffic services may face minimal resistance or even encounter any resistance.
2. Industry merger tide
By the end of 2017, companies that now offer wireless services to you may be renamed. Despite the cold reception of industry mergers during Obama's administration, this may change after Trump became president. Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son hopes that Sprint and T-Mobile will merge. Although the Federal Communications Commission has poured a cold water on Sun Justice, the two sides may return to the negotiating table. However, after Softbank said earlier this month that it plans to invest $50 billion in the United States to create 50,000 jobs, Sun’s hopes have rekindled.
In addition, according to UBS analyst John Hodulik, a deal involving satellite TV provider Dish Network is also in the pipeline, the company has the wireless spectrum that mobile operators need to use. Resources. T-Mobile, Verizon and Comcast are likely to be potential partners of the Dish Network.
Verizon and Comcast also tried to merge. Once the merger is successful, Verizon will have access to Comcast video content, and Comcast can also benefit from Verizon's service - the company launched its own Wi-Fi-based wireless service later this year. . The two companies have already established a partnership on Comcast's wireless service, which also sells Verizon's services. However, the impact of this transaction is too large for the general public to accept, even Republicans. However, in this case, Comcast and T-Mobile and Verizon and cable operator Charter CommunicaTIons are also likely to merge.
3, drone long-distance delivery
Imagine a picture of a pizza being sent by a drone to the door of a user. Companies such as Google's Google are testing the delivery of drones. Earlier this month, Amazon just completed its first order for delivery via drones. However, today's short-range Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals are used to control drones, making drones unable to deliver long distances. Therefore, these companies need to implement wireless control through a cellular network.
A number of equipment and component manufacturers such as Ericsson and Qualcomm are testing long-range drone control. Qualcomm and AT&T also began testing the technology in San Diego. In October of this year, Verizon announced the "AirborneLTE OperaTIons" ("ALO") program, which is the first responder to use drones to help disaster relief activities, and encourage developers to build applications that support ALO.
Although these companies may make some progress in this area in 2017, don't be fooled into thinking that drone delivery of pizza services can cover the United States. If this technology is to succeed, what is really needed is a 5G wireless network - 5G technology can reduce network latency and ensure that these drones can respond to commands in the first place.
4, 5G test is fully rolled out
In 2017, the “test†of 5G will be fully rolled out. AT&T and Verizon have established a partnership to jointly test 5G networks in 2017. Sprint and T-Mobile will also join forces on 5G network testing. Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam announced this month that the company will launch field trials before 5G commercials in the first quarter of 2017. In Austin, Texas, AT&T also teamed up with Intel to test 5G technology.
However, before you are excited about this kind of testing activity, please remember that according to Verizon and AT&T, 5G will not be deployed specifically for mobile services, but as a wireless alternative to home broadband.
5, video quality control will become an industry standard
Whether you can perceive the difference between playing a DVD or HD quality video on a mobile device, you may not have much choice in the near future. T-Mobile and Sprint have reduced the quality of some video content to save data traffic. AT&T said it will start adding this feature next year. Verizon will soon join their ranks.
All of these programs are currently optional. However, once the threat of net neutrality ceases to exist, this will become the industry standard. A positive aspect is that mobile networks are more efficiently utilized and help consumers get better data package services. This low-quality video will also allow T-Mobile and Sprint to continue to offer unlimited traffic packages. For users with traffic restrictions, this service also allows them to not exceed the traffic limit by watching the new season of "Game of Thrones."
6, "Wi-Fi priority" network into the mainstream
Thanks to the so-called "Wi-Fi-first" network launched by cable giant Comcast, such services (such as Google's Project Fi and Republic Wireles) will become more and more mainstream in 2017. User welcome. The "Wi-Fi Priority" network uses both cellular and local networks to provide inexpensive wireless Internet connectivity. Once the Wi-Fi signal is gone, they will use the cellular network to provide the service.
Project Fi and Republic Wireless have been supporting more devices since 2015, helping to increase the number of potential audiences. In mid-2017, Comcast will network its 15 million hotspots with Verizon's 4G network, and people will be very interested in the Wi-Fi priority network. Of course, there is still a question about how Comcast is pricing this new service, and is this price attractive enough to allow people to abandon traditional mobile services?
7, the fiber "not dead"
Google announced in October this year that it will suspend the deployment of "Google Fiber" (Google Fiber), a decision that shattered many people's dream of ultra-high-speed broadband services, they hope that Google can deploy this service to their own cities. However, this does not mean that fiber or high-speed Internet access is coming to an end. It is precisely because of "Google Fiber" that companies such as Comcast and AT&T have increased the speed of broadband services. AT&T has been rapidly expanding its fiber network, and this work will continue until 2017.
Fiber optics is closely related to the ambition of the wireless industry to create 5G services. A big difference between 2017 and the present is that Google, AT&T and other companies will seek to provide high-speed broadband services through the wireless network to the "last mile" that directly enters the home, rather than using fiber to achieve this goal.
