The potential market for the Wireless Internet, by all accounts,
will be a substantial and sustainable one as people embrace
what may be gained by anywhere, anytime connectivity to the
varied content found on today’s Web.
The Wireless Internet will most certainly provide society
with new experiences and freedom, and unprecedented access
to information. The Wireless Internet frees consumers from
location and time constraints, making it possible to shop for
merchandise or initiate transactions from virtually anywhere,
day or night, without sitting in front of a PC.
Because the number of wireless devices exceeds the number
of home and office PCs, and this gap will widen in the coming
years, the impact of wireless users will be the major driver
for future content. Traditional Web sites will adapt to accommodate
the various screens of many handheld devices, each of
which will be designed for various applications. The Wireless
Internet untethers an endless stream of information, new solutions,
and opportunities for human communications by offering
wireless connectivity to the vast knowledge and resources
of a networked world.
