no future killer app [perhaps]

The book is well balanced between two things. Speculating on possible new types of businesses that might arise for mobile computing. And the technical constraints of current and future systems.

The authors rise about issues about current 3G deployment, or lack thereof. Instead, they ask what might constitute an improvement. What the authors are really looking for is another killer app. Something so viral that millions of users will gladly and quickly adopt. Unfortunately, none of the speculations seem that compelling thus far. No fault of the authors. Though perhaps if you really had such an opportunity, you would surely try to raise funding to implement it, rather than write a research paper.
