Gerry discussed how network bandwidth affects use of mobile imaging services. Clearly it's too expensive to send high resolution images over the wireless network on a mass market data tariff (eg this post would cost about $2.50 on a tariff of ¹cent per KB). Flat rate data plans are one answer. WiFi enabled phones are another.??One thing that is already solved is the bandwidth issue. It's possible to send big files over a slow 2.5G data network, as long as the data transfer happens in the background (so it doesn't interrupt normal use of the phone) and recovers from the point of failure automatically following interruptions (loss of network coverage, phone calls, dead battery...). The technology for this is already deployed (eg in ShoZu).
