Top Wireless Expert Says: Microsoft Leads Way To 120 Million 'Wireless Data'
Users

North America to Have More Users Than Europe

SARASOTA, Fla., Feb. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- In a StockHouse.com feature
interview, top wireless expert Andrew Seybold forecast that at least 10% of
the world's 600 million wireless communications users, and possibly as many
as 120 million people, would rely on wireless data transmissions by the year
2002. Seybold believes the prime mover behind this development will be
Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft played a major role in kicking off the
wireless data revolution at the recent New Orleans CTIA conference with the
Microsoft-British Telecom alliance, but Seybold pointed out smaller companies
that are also helping to pioneer this major development.

Seybold told StockHouse.com that Research in Motion will be a major player
during 1999 and hinted that a television campaign may be launched later this
year by this company to help educate the public about "email to go" on
wireless data transmissions. Seybold also comments on the contributions that
companies such as Infowave Software are bringing toward moving wireless data
into the mainstream -- referring to that company's "systems integration"
breakthrough that helps corporations securely use wireless data
transmissions. Seybold hinted that the Microsoft-Qualcomm joint venture would
probably spin-off as an IPO in the near future.

While Europe now has the technological edge over North America, Seybold also
told StockHouse.com that this continent would eventually have more wireless
data users than Europe.
