Nokia Chief Details Web Future wired.com "The future is not PC-centric. It's mobile phone-centric," Nokia chief Jorma Ollila told a seminar on mobile networks and digital home appliances in Tokyo. Nokia, the world's biggest mobile phone handset maker with sales of 76.3 million phones worldwide in 1999, is aggressively pushing the convergence of mobile telephony and the Internet. Last year, it introduced WAP (wireless application protocol-based) phones, which use software bridges that interpret the Net for phones or any other wireless gadgets. The phones have caused a stampede in Britain. British Telecommunications Plc's group director, Andy Green, was even more aggressive about the prospect of a wireless Internet. "I don't think a single phone would be sold in Japan or in Britain in 2001 that does not connect to the Internet," he told the seminar. He predicted that PCs will quickly retreat as a major Internet access platform. "PCs will be the fourth. Mobile phones, TV sets, game machines, and then the PC [will be the] way to access the Internet." Thanks for attempting to educate the Microsoftifarian masses. Best of luck.
