I believe that moderate wireless data speeds (56 .. 100 kpbs) will be more than adequate for the forseable future. Palm VII, for example, runs quite happily at 9600bps. The question is how far away is the foreseeable future? The future is not about Palm VIIs, but about real time video phones and browsing on portable devices with user-friendly GUIs, adapted to the way people are used to browsing the WWW. For this you need a lot more than 9.6k, you need Mbps speed. The iMSM4500 ASIC, providing HDR capability, is to become available 2Q01 according to Q's literature, and I assume one this is adopted it will become the "foreseeable future."
