We talked about infrastructure & broadband penetration. We talked about disruptive technologies. So how do we tie this end to end?

Imagine that you are on your desktop PC chatting with your friend. In addition to chatting, you are also sharing photographs from your flickr account for a recent trip you and your friend took. Your friend and you are looking at the photographs together as well as collaboratively editing the photos by adding notes about what you were doing in various photos. Of course, your 'chat' is using 'voice' (talking), 'video' (you have a web-cam) as well as 'data' (sharing textual notes). While conversing, you decide to drive down to your friend's house, so you click on a button and the 'session' automatically gets transferred to your cell phone, using VoIP. However, your current network operator does not provide you with enough bandwidth to host a video call, so the session automatically removes the video session when the call transfers to your cell phone. At the same time, you use Google maps in your cell phone to map the exact driving directions to your friend's house. Your friend in turn can track your current location from home, because you have allowed him to view your location updates. That way, if you are lost, your friend knows where you are without you having to figure out!

The service could go on an on with the potential combinations that could enhance the definition of what we know communication to be today. So really, as an answer to the applications of Broadband-IP, the scope is enormous, almost infinite, limited only to one's imagination!
