| Creation of a mobile society creates a market-defining role for wireless Internet.
Information follows the individual, not the other way around in a mobile society.
Wireless handsets are positioned at the forefront of the mobile society, providing
connectivity potentially from anywhere, at any time, and in any place. Internet
connectivity is being generated by an open operating system for wireless handsets.
Wireless handset strategy relates to supporting basic voice communication while
combining a data-networking portfolio with video and picture capability.
Combined audio, photograph transmission and voice transmission capability permit
increased business and leisure productivity. Wireless handsets represent a
significant developme nt in wireless network systems because advanced architectures
let developers create applications that work across multiple wireless handset
platforms. Integrated, multiservice, next generation networks are based on wireless
handset operating systems (OS) capability.
Wireless handset shipments promise to rise rapidly. Users will not replace handsets
every year. Some users will begin to have more than one handset. High-end sets
may be used for business purposes while other sets are used for entertainment and
personal uses. Workers at Nokia are already doing this, leading the market. This report covers the topic.
