Perception is a powerful force.
When I was growing up, my father thought long and hard before equipping the family's new 1967 Ford Fairlane with a V-8 engine. It had virtually nothing to do with performance and everything to do with perception. A similar phenomenon influences today's wireless-network market. Fact is, you must sacrifice performance to eliminate wires. Most organizations are adopting the Web as their strategic application platform, and while the motivation lies in simplifying and expanding client access, the bandwidth efficiencies of such an approach make delivering key applications over a wireless infrastructure easy.
