Technology, business, and performance
aspects of wireless access to the Internet are reshaping the landscape
of the wireless industry. How many people will use their mobile phone to
access the Internet, and for what purposes? Will third-generation cellular
technology be economically feasible on a mass scale? Will ubiquitous and
economical high-speed wireless LAN connections be a significant player
for portable users? Will fixed wireless access significantly enhance the
availability of broadband access? Will all of these modes complement each
other or all exist independently? The panelists bring the perspectives
of service providers, mobile phone developers, infrastructure developers,
and computer companies to the discussion of what is happening now and what
might happen next.
