Does wireless broadband face threats?

Qualcomm's CEO thinks that wireless broadband services just now becoming popular will face threats as data becomes ubiquitous, as it knows no bounds. Data, voice, video, GPS and other forms of data are all traveling -- or will travel -- down the same pipe.

In a rather lengthy but truth-filled statement, Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs said "wireless technology is moving quickly from initial third-generation data capabilities to becoming a true computer that transmits myriad applications, including GPS location, data, video and voice, using a variety of wireless networks simultaneously. The wireless device, he said, stands to inherit the PC's versatility and capability combined with mobility."

That is quite a statement that ushers in thoughts of everything we know of -- data-wise -- becoming wirelessly enabled soon. That ought to be a fun ride.
