Here's an interesting article from Red Herring about 3G Broadband wireless services. In many ways, it creates more questions than it answers for me, but worth reading anyway.

It fails to mention many promising companies and technologies which makes me think it's just a fluff piece to get investors interested in select companies.

Do you know much about Saraïde.com?

Ready to help deliver wireless broadband services are startup companies like Saraïde.com, which is developing content-based wireless applications and services that are accessible from a mobile phone. The company licenses its services to wireless carriers, which in turn sell them as part of wireless services packages to their subscribers.

Based in San Mateo, California, Saraïde.com is a joint venture of Microcell Telecommunications (Nasdaq: MICTF), Nortel Networks (NYSE: NT), Omnipoint Communications, and GSM Capital. The company has signed partnerships with content providers like SportsTicker and Weathernews International from which to build applications including wireless online banking and stock trading, as well as a host of concierge services. Saraïde.com plans to announce a full suite of products in the fall. Part of this suite will be a newly developed email and messaging system that has already been licensed to the Canadian PCS provider Microcell Solutions (a subsidiary of one of Saraïde.com's founders), which is pitching it to customers as a value-added service in its calling plans.
