A Swedish company TerraNet developed an idea of making free calls between mobile phones for free. The Concept is using peer to peer technology to make calls without the need for a mobile phone base station.
The Idea:
The handsets will be designed to work as peers, I.e., every phone acts as a peer and also as a node between other phones.
The effective range of each phone could be 1 KM. Each phone connects to others phones and make a network.
Ok, What does this mean ? This means no cost for making between handsets. However, implementation will take sometime because of the resistance from the big operators.
Seems like bright days are a head for Cell phone users.
