BridgePort Networks, Oberthur Card Systems and CounterPath Solutions have announced commercial availability of MobileSTICK, a USB stick-based way to provide mobile calling and texting "over the top" from any broadband connection.
MobileSTICK launches a PC softphone, secured by a SIM card that uses the existing mobile phone number to make and receive phone calls, SMS and multimedia (MMS) messages. The user’s existing mobile remains active and continues to utilize its existing SIM.
So the obvious impact includes enhanced ability for mobile operators to displace even more landline traffic, without building a network. Tangential benefits include creating a new revenue stream and offloading traffic from atmospheric to wired networks, conceivably helping reduce new capital investment
Almost as a side benefit, MobilSTICK provides a sort of "one number" feature for some portion of a user's calling and communicating.
