• In Hong Kong, Air is Replacing Wires

  
  

  I have been experiencing the impact of communication technology at the cutting edge in Hong Kong. It seems that wires (optical or metallic) are becoming obsolete.

   

  I have used mobile phone for more than 13 years. In recent months, I switched to mobile broadband from fixed-line broadband Internet service. Then from next month onwards, my fixed-line phone will be replaced by something wireless too. I will use the phone as before, but there will be no visible wire going into my house. I don’t know how they can do this. I only know that my telephone bill payment will be greatly reduced.
  

  
  

  Is this also happening in other countries?
