As computer and signal processing speed increase, information transmission efficiencies reach within a fraction of a dB of Shannon´s Limit, SDRs (software defined radios) take radio communications to the “next level”, the “internet of things” (IoT) already connecting over 10 billion devices wirelessly, and the ITU declaring in 2013 that Asia has become the largest M2M market in the world, the adjective “ubiquitous” is no longer the exaggeration it has represented for years but rather a very accurate description of tomorrow´s communications. Within a few years Indonesia, driven by its population and need for multiple forms of telecommunications as a result of our environment, will experience the ability to create, access, transfer and share information from any location, using many different kinds of devices from wrist bands to computers embedded in our eyeglasses, and do so in true multi-tasking modes. Soon we will not know the path information flows, nor will we care. Self-healing networks, least cost routing, QoS driven route management, congestion sensors, security requirements, and neural networking will determine routing. We will forget about how difficult it is to make a mobile call of reasonable quality today and focus more on the quality of the communication experience tomorrow.
