Today, wireless data accounts for only two percent of the total wireless business market, with voice claiming the lion s share of revenue. However, the increasing mobility of the US workforce, and the availability of wireless devices to link workers with corporate databases, customer records and Web sites, will drive demand for wireless data services.
Insight sees growth in business wireless voice revenue under considerable pressure.
Carriers who want to increase their bottom line must push wireless data services to the high-growth industries, says Insight president Robert Rosenberg. Revenue growth in the wireless sector will unequivocally be attributed to data, and we see certain vertical industries leading the way. Private data network vs. public data network projections through 2006 are also included, as are comparisons of the residential wireless market.
