Lightbulbs the solution to the mobile spectrum

Frequent mobile users may not like being limited by bandwidth, but none of the major wireless carriers offer unlimited data plans anymore.  An analysis by Kevin Peter, explains the differences between 1-4G technologies.  These technologies make the magic of mobile devices possible, connecting us with the internet anywhere we are.  However these technologies are part of the reason why bandwidth is limited, not because they cannot provide the bandwidth but because it is expensive to give millions of people access to these technologies.  It costs money for AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, etc to buy licenses from the FCC to use these frequencies and spectrums, which trickles down to us customers.  Harald Haas offers a solution to increase the mobile spectrum and the bandwidth capabilities for mobile devices.  Next time you might have to watch your head, since your lightbulb might be transferring millions of dollars across the globe.
