Switching from cell to Wi-Fi, seamlessly

Marguerite Reardon from CNET News.com posted an article today on T-Mobile preparing a service allowing callers uninterrupted shifting between cellular network, consumer Wi-Fi network. It certainly has been a long time coming....but if it works seamlessly, it will be a welcome addition to our minute usage.

T-Mobile USA, the fourth-largest mobile phone company in the United States, is preparing to launch a service this month that will allow people talking on their cell phones to seamlessly switch between T-mobile's cellular network and their home Wi-Fi networks.

T-Mobile's new service, which will be the first of its kind in the United States, will be a test case for other operators also looking to deploy similar services. Sprint Nextel, through its joint venture with four major cable companies, is also looking into developing a similar service. And Cingular is testing a service in its labs.
