Forecasts for the Wireless Internet market span a wide
range, however, all are in agreement that while the market
is still in its infancy, it is poised for enormous growth over the
next several years, due to large numbers of people who will
have access to it with their handheld devices. Other platforms
besides mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and
Pocket PCs will be able to access the Wireless Internet, appliances,
motor vehicles, and other machines will also play a significant
role. For the Wireless Internet to be successful, it is
important to educate the market of its possibilities and develop
compelling applications that will take advantage of devices
that can accompany people and provide “anytime, anywhere”
access.
