I am a believer that the Device Virtualization vision will manifest fully one day, but we have a long road to travel to this end game. The related notion of Service Endpoint Agent (SEA) devices that I have written about is simply a continuation of emerging edge and fog computing trends that will ultimately drive the transformation of wireless networks into flexible, new, value-added service offering environments where said services are literally just one hop away. However, if we want to realize this vision,it will require that the edge transforms into a different type of mini-internet that behaves just a little differently than the wider internet that it connects to.
