Wireless data Take, for example, wireless data and Internet. With people and companies on the move, wireless has played a key role in helping them stay connected. This is especially true, of course, in Asia-Pacific . In fact, by year 2003, there will be more new mobile phones than new fixed telephone lines in many countries here. But wireless is not just for voice anymore.
Smart phones are already in the market, and are providing users with data capabilities.
In the future, these smart phones will use broadband frequencies to browse the Internet, send and receive e-mail, and perform data transactions. So, if you're on the road, on your way to visit a client, you could access your corporate intranet for information about that client. Research indicates that by the year 2001, wireless Internet access will be a major trend. The next technology I want to talk about is video-conferencing. Multiple users can see and talk to each other on PCs connected to the Net.
