Power from the Void?: How Steve Perlman\´s "revolutionary" wireless technology works and why it is a bigger deal than anyone realizes.

Stephen (steve) perlman is the founder of OnLive and WebTV. He is known for the invention of QuickTime, which is built into all Apple computers and phones [1]. In February, he announced a wireless broadband technology called pCell created by his latest start-up, Artemis Networks. The company has been working on this technology for ten years under the code name of DIDO. This technology will enable full-speed wireless broadband to every mobile device, regardless of how many users are using the same wireless spectrum at once [2]. The technology is compatible with existing fourth-generation (4G) standards, such as the LTE that is used by the most recent mobile phones. Before we take a careful look at the technology, let us step back and put this into context.
