UBIQUITY. Ubiquity n : the state of being everywhere at once (or seeming to be everywhere at once) The platform may it be cellphones, smartphones, pocketPCs, Palm, PDAs, desktops or laptops will be blurred. The applications that we will be using in the future will transcend all these platforms. What SMART did is that it just closed off this option to the developers to provide such an environment. Being able to be online 24/7 and only paying for the data you use is far better that this time-metered system that this telco has imposed on it's subscribers. Sure, browsing the web on your cellphone is now cheaper (assuming that the sites you go to has graphics) ... but what they did is short sighted. If they really wanted to make browsing more realistic for their subscribers they should just offer unlimited monthly rates like all the other telcos around the world are doing and not use this old dail-up billing strategy of charging by the minute.
