Not all the security focus is on protecting the user of the
Wireless Internet; plenty of activity is aimed at protecting the
content that users are accessing. Much of the content initially
available over the Wireless Internet has been that which is available
on the fixed Internet—free but not always of great value.
Studies show that Wireless Internet users are not eager to
pay for the same content they can get for free on a PC. A large
opportunity does exist to deliver content that users would be
willing to pay for, but methods of securing this content are
needed. In a physical distribution world the methods of protection
are clear—pay for it and they let you leave the store
with it. What you do with it after that is typically up to you.
