Takes time for devices, applications, back end software and networks to evolve. The billing model isn t even established yet. Will take off first with vertical markets, then spread to horizontal business applications, then finally to mass consumer and entertainment markets. They can bundle device, network, software and service to the customer. The wireless world is not as simple as the wired Internet, where Yahoo and Amazon easily go directly to the customer and the ISP is just a dumb pipe.
