Advances in mobile ubiquity
An interesting post on the advances in mobile ubiquity from blog pal Anil de Mello. "After all these decades, wireless technology finally makes M2M viable. The meter reader drives a pickup owned by the electric utility from homestead to homestead, which is expensive. Wireless technology would dramatically cut those expenses. I just met a guy who developed a system that uses GPS and reports both the location and maintenance needs of heavy equipment, which simplifies dispatching and enables more efficient service."
