As well as boosting economic development in poor countries, this will help to close the "digital divide" between the communications-rich and communications-poor.
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, including diversity, space-time coding, and BLAST algorithms, have been thoroughly studied and have shown superior performance [1] compared to single antenna systems for mobile communications in rich scattering, no line of sight, and slowly varying channel conditions.
That's one funny thing about the Internet: it's an extraordinarily rich communications system, but as an information and entertainment medium, it encourages private consumption.
Is Zuckerberg correct in saying that text-based communications are less "rich" than video-based or 3D ones – and that VR would really get us "closer and closer" to capturing "natural experience"?
This is a much more open and rich communications environment, where you can constantly be in touch.
She called for governments to reform labour markets to encourage job creation, and for more public investment such as transport and communications networks in rich and emerging countries.
Channel capacity of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) for wireless communications in a rich multipath environment is larger than that offered by conventional techniques [5 9].
The use of dual problems as a shortcut to solve optimization problems in communications has a rich history[25 28]; see also[29] for a comprehensive treatment.
If you thought the mobile communications mix was rich enough already – with voice, text, IM, social networking and so on – think again.
But it's continuing to build out its comms capabilities, especially around video — and says the livestreaming feature is part of ongoing efforts to provide users with an "increasingly rich communications experience".
In contrast with Facebook, which she describes as a "web product", Rosenthal sees MessageMe – which has been designed specifically for smartphones – as the future of real-time rich communications.
