I think the nature of networks and how they are used will change as more wireless networks become available and true pervasive computing becomes a reality. But, these networks are really just a variation on a theme. There will be increased reliance on collaborative wireless networks (both wide area and short-range), as well as the increased utilization of location-based technology and intelligence at the edge. This makes for distinctly different network architectures and modes of operation, but these are networks nonetheless.
