“Having studied the market since the early ’90s, Cahners
In-Stat Group declares 2000 as the year of wireless data. As
major barriers to broad acceptance fall, subscribers of
wireless data services will rise from fewer than 2 million in 1999
to nearly 25 million by 2003. Mobile workers and corporate
types will drive near-term adoption, not consumers.
Why is wireless data now finally set to take off? Several
lingering challenges — cost, coverage and security — are being
addressed.”
