According to the there will be over 250m VoIP Users Over 3G Mobile Networks by 2012. Call me a cynic but this seems overly optimistic for 250 million users to be making VoIP over 3G calls. 6 Reasons why we Won't Reach 250M VoIPo3G users:1) You need phones with softphone clients such as Skype. Talk. MSN Messenger to run on cellphones You can count on 1 hand the number of phones that can run these apps today.2) You need phones with the processing horsepower to handle the encoding of the voice packets - possible with high-end smart phones yes but most cellphones use slow processors to save on battery life.3) Most people aren't going to spend $600 for an iPhone or some other high-end smartphone just to make VoIPo3G calls. Most cell phones purchased are in the $80-$180 range and are "simple" cell phones - no VoIP application support. 4) You need the carriers to not block VoIP on their networks. Uh. ?5) It needs to be dummy proof. Most celll phone users could careless about VoIP. They just want to make a call and have it be high-quality. Yes those looking to save some $$$ will go the extra mile but 250M? C'mon. Not buying it.6) The world is going to end by 2012. Haven't you heard? The famous Mayan prophecy based on their calendar ends on winter solstice ? USA Today. "Part of the 2012 mystique stems from the stars. On the winter solstice in 2012 the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years. This means that "whatever energy typically streams to Earth from the center of the Milky Way will indeed be disrupted on 12/21/12 at 11:11 p m. Universal Time." Anyway here's the optimistic report for your enjoyment... VoIPo3G to be driven by both wireless carriers and independent challengersLONDON. November 13th 2007 - A new research study from Disruptive Analysis shows that evolution of mobile VoIP will rapidly eclipse voice over WiFi and become a mainstream form of communication. The analyst firm predicts that the number of VoIPo3G users could grow from virtually zero in 2007 to over 250m by the end of 2012. This is comfortably in excess of the expected number of FMC users with dual-mode VoWLAN/cellular phones. The report demonstrates that it will be the operators themselves which will be mainly responsible for the push towards VoIP being carried over cellular networks. Carriers will become increasingly attracted to VoIPo3G because it will enable them to fit more phone calls into their scarce spectrum allocations reduce operating expenses by combining fixed and mobile core networks and launch new services like push-to-talk and voice-integrated "mashups". VoIPo3G also fits well with the move towards femtocells. Future generations of wireless technology- 3GPP LTE (Long Term Evolution). 3GPP2 UMB(Ultra Mobile Broadband). WiMAX - are "all-IP" so unless mobile operators continue to run separate voice networks in parallel they will inevitably transition to VoIP at some point. However because these new radio technologies are three to five years away from mainstream deployment - what happens in the meantime will provide the major disruption to operator business models. Some independent VoIP players are already exploiting the fact that today's 3G networks can already support VoIP putting dedicated software on smartphones exploiting open operating systems flat-rate data plans and features like "naked SIP" and built-in VoIP capability. These are linked to competitive 'over the top' phone or IM services via a mobile Internet connection. At the same time there is an increasing trend of carriers marketing 3G modems for PCs - not just for mobile computing but also to compete with home DSL/cable broadband offerings. Laptop users expect to be able to use their normal broadband applications over 3G including voice-based ones like Skype. Some operators are even offering their own VoIP software for PCs with wireless broadband. The end-result of the push towards VoIPo3G is that by 2012 most VoIPo3G users will be using mobile carriers' own standards-based VoIP capabilities over the new advanced 3G+ networks. However a significant minority of about 60m will be using independent or Internet-based solutions - many actually operated in partnership with carriers or retailers. Dean Bubley author of the report and founder of Disruptive Analysis comments: "3G networks are increasingly capable of supporting VoIP for both traditional mobile operators and independent Internet-based VoIP challengers. But while CDMA operators will benefit from VoIP being 'designed-in' to their newest networks. 3GPP / HSPA operators will have to wait for several years - a window of opportunity which will be exploited by the 'over the top' players. Rather than competing head-on partnership models have the potential to create win-win propositions"The report. "VoIPo3G Business Models" is available from Disruptive Analysis from today. It is based on a huge research effort spanning hundreds of interviews and meetings and contains extensive market forecasts industry commentary & analysis and company profiles. I'm pretty cynical too - which is why the majority of the 250m is actually going to be the carriers' own VoIP particularly carried over their forthcoming 3.9G networks (LTE. UMB etc) which are all-IP and therefore mandate VoIP rather than circuit-switching. The proportion which is 'independent' VoIP from the Skypes of this world is only about a quarter of that figure - and I expect that much of that is going to be in various types of partnership including with the carriers as well. Ahhh well that makes more sense. Carriers' own VoIPo3G allows them to squeeze more users in less bandwidth/wireless spectrum. So makes economic sense. I still wonder if the handsets will have the horsepower to handle it though. Maybe the carriers will offer discounted phone trade-ins just to get you to move to a higher-end cellphone that can handle VoIPo3G? Phones to handle a sip dialer are already in mass production themselves make a phone with enough processing power to handle a G729 Symbian based SIP dialer easily. Chat program and Sip dialing two things you need. I am soon launching a mass production 'VOIP' phone wich will handle only data. That is VOIP calls. MSN. Internet and it can be used as a (very useful,cableless) WIFI router for quick laptop/PC net access via WIFI (most laptops have WIFI nowadays). Sale price at around $220. Final testing phase underway.

News has broken that a team at the Oregon National Primate investigate bear on in Beaverton. Oregon has succeeded in.  The techniques they used to bring home the bacon this monumental breakthrough in cloning work—the same as were used in making Dolly the sheep but with fewer toxic chemicals—should also work for making human embryos. But no one who is in a lay to actually try to apply to humans what the Oregon scientists did with monkeys has any interest in using cloning to reproduce or crowd produce people. While the Oregon investigate team did make monkey embryos they could not get a viable pregnancy from any of them.  This means that cloning to create adults is still very hard to do and certainly very dangerous to try. The real goal of this work is to see if human embryos can be cloned using the Oregon technique—not to enter the cloned embryos into wombs but to try and then act upon them in lab dishes to see if they can provide viable sources of embryonic stem cells. Up until now the contend about the ethics and funding of embryonic stem cell investigate has presupposed either making human embryos using sperm and egg or using already existing embryos left over unclaimed and unwanted at in vitro fertilization clinics.  Cloned embryos would be a exceed obtain. Why?  Because if you make a cloned embryo by putting DNA from your own skin or  other body cell into an egg then you can make embryos whose stem cells can be used to repair diseases and injuries that may afflict you without worry of them being rejected by your body’s immune system as foreign tissue.  This would let people use their own cells  as repair kits to make stem cells that could then  be used to ameliorate damaged hearts severed spinal cords or worn out parts of the brain that result in Parkinsonism. Some will argue that none of this research should be permitted in humans.  Won’t cloning human embryos make it too tempting to use them for reproduction as well as research? And isn’t it murder some will say to copy human embryos to then undo them by harvesting originate in cells from them? With proper legislation—such as that enacted in Britain and a handful of other countries—which prohibits putting cloned human embryos into a woman’s body then this ordain be just as effective a prohibition on reproductive cloning as prohibiting the creation of cloned human embryos.  While in principle the inspect against cloning ourselves is less persuasive then many evaluate it is still far too dangerous to try at show.  Without create that reproductive cloning works safely in monkeys a ban on reproductive cloning of humans makes good ethical sense. It is true that the creation of originate in cells means destroying a cloned embryo.  But a cloned embryo in a lab dish has no ability or potentiality to create into a person.  It is at beat a potential possible person—not an actual one. Since it is already known that nearly all cloned embryos are so miswired that very few are capable of becoming a healthy adult organisms they are actually the moral entity of choice when it comes to embryonic stem cell investigate.
