Discussion: What is the right strategy?

5. Additional Slides

6. State of Mobile
Small decreases in number of land lines and calls on landlines
Landlines no longer a value proposition (too much cost for too little use)
Almost all students, faculty and staff have a cell phone; most are personally owned
Desire to only have to deal with a single device (phone, cell, data, pager, etc): Seduced and in lust with the iPhone (want it to meet all needs)
SmartPhones are way too expensive on top of landlines (but everyone wants one)
Would eliminate land lines in residence halls if it weren't for security issues
Continuing to make WiFi more available and more dense
Multiple identities are important (public phone, cell phone, home phone, pager)
Implementing carrier agnostic, in-building cellular coverage  (95% of space)
Using land-line VoIP in the places it makes sense
VoWLAN works but it's clunky
Carriers rule the mobile world
Committed to the Work Anywhere Initiative (anything, anywhere, anytime)

7. Service Interests and Requirements
Faculty and Staff
Redirect funds spent on land-line service
The University phone number is useful for faculty and staff voice service
To individuals to manage their university identity
To the university to retain control of business process
To manage funding
Multiple identities via phone numbers on a single mobile device
The device may be owned by an individual or the university
The device(s) must be one(s) that people want
The device must have additional capabilities (e.g. , calendar, text messaging, web, and other applications etc.)
Students
Decrease cost of communication

8. Where we believe this is headed
Voice will be an application
WiFi will be the transmission medium of choice for in-building service (Residential and Enterprise)
Leverage University volume to reduce mobile costs (also retain control & University #'s)
Everyone has a mobile device and a University number (partially funded by no landlines)
University phone numbers routed by Presence (mobile, or unified messaging< >, or admin assist)
Cellular will be available in-building as a secondary medium and outside as a primary medium
An added benefit of dual mode devices together with dual in-building infrastructures is the redundancy provided
Eventually carriers will stop marketing voice minutes and just sell an IP pipe  (really)
Carriers will rule less of the mobile world... our glass is half full
