Subscribers will always be in the access zone

Here and there, assumptions are expressed about the different paths of development of wireless technologies. Many predict a bright future for the LTE standard, which will replace the obsolete 3G and the very dense, but still used and cheap 2G. LTE will support speeds of tens of megabits, including during fast movement by car, and, possibly, operators will cease to be so greedy and introduce real unlimited.

But if you swipe at a longer-term forecast - what are the main problems of phones to be solved? People are convinced that the phone of the future should not lose the network in the first place. Current smartphones are incredibly tech devices literally packed with support for wireless standards. Usually, at least:
- several 2G standards are placed in one device
- Bluetouth
- WiFi
- 3G
And sometimes, as is the case with HTC 4G MAX - WiMax is used instead of 3G. So why does a phone usually use only one of these networks for data transfer? An engineer from Australia developed the Serval program, which allows you to talk in those strange places where there is no 2G-operator coverage, but there is wi-fi available.
This is only the beginning - indeed, base stations give a good and high-quality signal, which is indispensable, for example, in many kilometers of areas of poorly populated areas. But why do we need a zoo of expensive base stations in urban megalopolises like Moscow, where dozens of WiFi access points connected to ready-made fiber-optic networks stick out of every home?
