Interactive video, augmented reality, and applications that extend social networking to mobile for anytime, anywhere interactivity in a real engaging way. The carriers (especially the tier one carriers, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile) should not be battling over who is faster – they should battle over who has the most compelling applications that just happen to dependent high bandwidth.
