The Mobile Internet Industry - Opportunity Knocking.
A New Wireless Paradigm.
Mobile communication and data communication are two of the fastest growing areas in the communications industry. In particular, mobile data communication, which includes wireless Internet, carries a great deal of momentum. The media is keeping a vigilant eye on the evolution of wireless data, and operators and various kinds of enterprise have put wireless datacom at the top of their strategic agendas.
Wireless data communication combines mobile communication and data communication by giving consumers easy access through mobile phones, pagers, or other wireless devices to relevant information on the Internet and intranets.
Operators see wireless data communication as an opportunity to create innovative services on top of existing networks and investments. Doing so will give them a means of differentiating themselves—for instance, to enhance their business image, reduce churn, attract new subscribers, and increase traffic volume per subscriber.
Enterprises are increasingly looking for ways of increasing employee productivity. Wireless data will enable professionals to access corporate data, such as e-mail, production status, price lists, and other critical information for doing business while they are away from the office. Specific vertical segments, such as financial institutions, have expressed interest in wireless data as a way of distributing services. In this context, wireless data would improve their overall image and increase the availability of services through a rapidly growing low-cost distribution channel. These needs and initiatives from Ericsson and others, have created "phone browser technologies," such as the wireless application protocol, or WAP.
