Use Compression to Keep Costs Down and Performance Up
Wireless developer Alexei Polyakov explains how compression applications can increase capabilities and cut costs by reducing the amount of data sent over wireless networks. This technology is already used widely in Japan, and Polyakov predicts it will be big elsewhere as 3G takes off.
Alexei Polyakov is a product of his surroundings. His native town of Vladivostok, situated on the east coast of Russia, is very close to Japan (just an hour and a half by plane), and he took a job at a Tokyo telecommunications company after graduation. The advance of mobile technologies in Japan amazed him. While riding the train there, he "would see dozens of people playing games or downloading ring tones onto their handsets."
