INFO on Wi-LAN from Stockhouse. StockHouse: What about the convergence industry and how that's going to effect the Internet and computing? Adamou: I know Research in Motion [Toronto - RIM; NASDAQ - RIMM] quite well. I was involved with them in a venture capital fund. I would never sell them short because they're some of the smartest guys I know. It's a great product. However, there were a couple of things that concerned me about it - that would be the overall convergence that you are talking about. My feeling is that at the end of the year you're going to have one tool. It's not going to be a pager. I really believe that in 3-5 years time, the point of access to the Internet will be wireless. There is research being done and technology being developed right now - some of which are available coming soon that get you 30MB wireless. You're getting into cable-modem speed. There is a company in Canada called Wi Lan, Inc. that trades in Alberta [Alberta - WIN]. They are talking to a number of partners for commercialization right now. I think you're going to get huge increases in bandwidth, wireless bandwidth in particular. It's going to be far more convenient to take the Internet with you than have it on your desk. Once you can take the Internet with you, it's hard to see where the pager comes in. Today's News Maker interview sponsored by <Picture: 24/7 ad> StockHouse: Have you been following Nokia? Adamou: Yes, I'm very familiar with what they are doing - a very innovative company. I've been getting a lot of feedback that they're going to be a player. Look at what's happening in wireless technology to carry that stuff wherever you want. They are positioning themselves to move into that quickly. StockHouse: Thank you very much, Mr. Adamou. Happy investing, Uptickin
