Wired have reported that Steve Perlman, an inventor who sold his TV company to Microsoft for $500m, is ready to give you a personal cell phone signal that follows you from place to place, a signal that’s about 1,000 times faster than what you have today because you needn’t share it with anyone else.

Perlman will give today the first public demonstration at Columbia University in New York. Previously known as DIDO, the technology is now called pCell — short for “personal cell” — and judging from the demo Perlman gave Wired at his lab in San Francisco last week, it worked as advertised, streaming video and other data to phones with a speed and a smoothness you’re unlikely to achieve over current cell networks.

This sounds amazing if it could be expanded for everybody.
