| Safety?
Talking on the phone while driving is bad enough, do we really need to encourage surfing while driving?
Maybe ATT and VZ should start investing in an AIcar, where one can just punch in a direction, and the call will drive there (see Will Smith in I, Robot)
Dont get me wrong, the idea of mobile data that fast is a good start, but maybe there should be testing it where people SHOULD be using it (couch at home, table at coffee shop), not what kind of speed they can achieve while driving.

Hingham, MA | What if you're not the one driving? Another thought would be public transportation systems, that's one of the places mobile broadband can be most useful if it exists. |

There might be applications we haven't thought of yet. Maybe some combination of GPS and advertising. |

How about integrated driving features. Alerting you to lane closures in upcoming miles from accidents/construction. Congestion and alternative route suggestions. Video amber alerts, not to mention the ability of public services to communicate more effectively.
Integrated content access to your libraries at home. (think music, and DVD's for the kids in the back seat) Not to mention social network extensions, where you could share with your friends where you are at any given time. |
