The "disruptive pain" of explosive 3G/4G mobile data traffic is empowering "disruptive" solutions.
Re-envisioning the mobile infrastructure -- so as to support the proliferation of media-rich/cloud-base Mobile APPs -- is where the innovation -- and needed funding -- should and will occur next.
As I see it, the "holy grail" for WiFi Offload, would be in fully emulating the functionality+interoperability of celluar networks, including--
--seamless bilateral 3G/4G-toWiFi Data Roaming (transparent mobile User session handoffs),
--3G/4G OTT value-added services (SMS, MMS, etc.) over WiFi would be nice too
--(finally) tracking and remaining "tethered" to subscribers during WiFi sessions-- producing CDR (data records).
All so as to "productize"/monetize WiFi . .
Blu-Linx Technology www.blu-linx.com does just that:, a start-up founded by a group of sasoned 3G/4G network design and value-added services (VAS) integration engineers + "carrier-garde WiFi antenna network specialists,
-->3GPP-compliant functionality+interworking over WiFi spectrum
