FALSE PREDICTION Accuracy set on 31-Dec-2007 (expiration date)
854 people have seen this prediction.
Free phone calls placed using VOIP, 802.11, and open source based directories of VOIP targets will severely cut into cellular phone service providers'''''''' revenue. Cell networks won''''''''t go away - many near-future phones (such as one from Motorola to be released early 2005) will be multimode to allow cellular connections whenever 802.11 is unavailable. But a significant portion of non-land-line phone calls will be free and will use VOIP+802.11 phones. Governments may release other radio frequency bands under the same terms as the current 802.11 band and for the purposes of this prediction, those count as 802.11.
Prediction: The number of VOIP+802.11 based calls made in a month in some US city with population over 300,000 will exceed of the number of regular cell phone calls that month in that city by the execution date.
