Fitting P-WLAN into Asian Mobile Operator StrategyProduct Type: Market Research ReportPublished by: IDC Published: January 2004 Product Code: R104-22632 Description This IDC Study showed that public Wi-Fi or hotspot access has been seen by the
cellular industry as a disruptive technology, one that upsets the current
balance of the equation especially with regard to wireless carriers'
next-generation 3G plans. This Study aims to provide a clearer understanding as
to the perennial argument of 3G networks versus P-WLANs and what Asian mobile
operators should do to fit the latter into their strategies.
"P-WLANs should be seen as a complement to Asian mobile operators' 3G
networks," said Davina Yeo, Associate Director of Networking and Wireless
Research, "each technology has its benefits and, in most cases, typical usage
scenarios are fairly different to represent a distinct threat to operators' 3G
revenues."
