Exclusive From Wireless Week

Microsoft To License Technology To BT

Wireless Week has learned that Microsoft Corp. plans to announce next week that it will license its WirelessKnowledge LLC
technology to British Telecommunications plc for use in global standard for mobile communications networks.

Sources told Wireless Week that BT plans to offer WirelessKnowledge through the carrier's GSM network. The deal gives
WirelessKnowledge increased credibility among detractors who doubted the venture's stated goal of being interface agnostic.
The U.S. carriers who are partners in the joint venture primarily use code-division multiple access technology, of which
Qualcomm Inc. is a leading proponent.

Sources said Microsoft will formally announce the deal with BT at next week's Wireless '99 trade show in New Orleans,
sponsored by the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association.

WirelessKnowledge is a joint venture between Microsoft and Qualcomm Inc. to provide remote access to corporate data. The
venture recently announced its first application, Revolv, which will be offered by nine U.S. wireless carriers and allow
subscribers with a variety of handheld devices to get their corporate e-mail, calendars and other data and even access the
Internet.
