Est. 1990

Building on an idea I’ve seen banded around quite a bit about having one consistent log in online, and applying to all area’s of life, telephone numbers, email, postal addresses etc has been playing around in the back of my mind for quite a while now.

Today, I came across a perfect example of where this tech would kick ass.

A friend of mine uses an iphone like mine and loves it. That is of course until he journeys home at the end of the day to his house which is completely and utterly devoid of signal from any of the telco’s. He can’t get texts, receive phone calls, access the data network or even make emergency calls. He does however have DSL in his house and a relatively quick wi fi network.

In my ideal world, his phone would be tied into his One ID, notice it’s lost coverage, connect to his wi fi, begin routing all his voice calls over VOiP, push any text messages to his handset as emails and shut down its cell antennas to save battery life.

I honestly have no idea how far out this tech is, but I’m sure it’s more than just a pipe dream. Maybe @patphelan knows more, if so let me know in the comments pat, this convergence of iP and mobiles is really blowing my mind at the moment, I need it put in perspective
