The landscape of Internet usage is dramatically changing because of the rapid evolution of access
to wireless communication with its associated mobility. Consumers in both business and
residential markets are becoming increasingly dependent on ubiquitous access. Such access is
enabled by the proliferation of wireless communication. Consumers realize the benefits of many
new business applications such as those in e-commerce, collaboration, supply chain, and
telemedicine. They also start to appreciate the benefits for their family and personal needs such
as communication with friends, entertainment, gaming, and location and safety services.
As the speed and quality provisioning of wireless communication increase, consumers'
dependency on applications delivered through the wireless media will increase. They will also
enjoy improved graphics as the wireless media will be able to deliver content-rich applications
through their higher speed wireless networks.
This new era of ubiquitous wireless communication will provide an array of applications supported
by the ability to access the Internet everywhere and anytime. Wireless communication will be
available at home and at the office. For example, Microsoft installed a wireless local area network
(WLAN) that lets workers connect to the corporate intranet from any spot on its 265-acre
Redmond, Washington, campus. Such accessibility is becoming possible also during travel via
automobile, plane, ship, and train. Wireless connectivity supports Telematics, which allows drivers
to access the Internet via a screen in their cars. Whether one walks in the city, suburb, or remote
desert, wireless connectivity to the Internet can be established via satellites provided by
companies such as Hughes Spaceway, as they can cover any point on the continent. Other types
of global networks are envisioned once high-speed 3G cellular phones become available by
companies such as AT&T (United States), Vodafone (United Kingdom), Orange (France), Omnitel
(Italy), and DoCoMo (Japan). In the regional domain, Wireless Local Loop technologies will
provide the basis for connection. WLANs provided by many companies such as 3Com, Linksys,
and Cisco will cover local areas. Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) provided by companies
such as Ericsson will provide an option for coverage of personal areas in which communication
needs to be established between neighboring devices.
