150 Mbps Wireless Broadband
Image via Wikipedia150 megabits per second download speed: that's pretty amazing.
iTWire: 149.4Mbps over wireless broadband: Telstra and Huawei are testing LTE mobile broadband using 1800MHz spectrum ..... this was more than three times the peak speeds achieved with current mobile technology. .... "As mobile customers move away from 2G services and onto 3G and LTE, 1800MHz spectrum will increasingly become available to be re-farmed by operators. The overwhelming success of these trials shows that 1800MHz can be an attractive option for deploying LTE where access to other spectrum bands is constrained" ..... Earlier this year, Huawei set a record LTE-Advanced download speed of 1.2Gbps at the CTIA Wireless 2010 event held in Las Vegas.1 gigabits per second is even more impressive.

The chances of Windows and Office getting the sexy back are also slim. So what is a company the size of Microsoft supposed to do?
GroupOnizing GroundReport Might Be Specific To GroundReport
I thought I wrote up this blog post, and sent that out as a tweet to Rachel Sterne and Randi Zuckerberg and it went out into the ether and that was that.
Why Zuck? I follow her on Twitter, and when I typed "ra" she also showed up. So.
And today I see it has been talked about at GroundReport itself by its founder. That allows me to elaborate.

GroundReport Needs To Get GroupOnized To Take Off
GroundReport is a greaaat idea, inspiring/touching actually to a Third World guy like me.
Its roots lie is Rachel Sterne's dissatisfaction with the UN Security Council, the ultimate bubble/ivory tower in global politics. I have also long been dissatisfied with the UN Security Council.
It is not true what GroundReport is trying to do is a saturated market. The opposite is true. But it is important to get the business model right.

Image by GRP Partners via CrunchBaseA week ago, while admiring his great three pieces at TechCrunch on social, I disagreed with Mark Suster's conclusion. He said the next decade belonged to Facebook. I said not, it belonged to fragmentation. Companies that might not even be one tenth the size of Facebook together might go on to dominate. 10 years, now that's a long time.
