If manufacturers are thinking of adding Bluetooth and WiFi, why not add DECT as well.

When I'm at home wouldn't it be sensible to use my mobile phone in conjunction with my local DECT connection (instead of a GSM network)

Many homes already have DECT phone and it is much more commonly used standard on phones than WiFi or BT put together.

The other reason for adding DECT is that I will also be spending a lot more time within this DECT area than any 3rd party WiFi or BT hot zone.

Overall, it's hard work introducing and rolling out new technologies, we maybe better off making better use of the ones we already have.
