Interesting post but I have read the forecasts and they are staggering insofaras the exponential growth in this sector.It comes down to survival of the fittest.

zdnet.com Bell Mobility "has put Phone.com's mobile browser into every phone it has shipped since May." ---------- Nokia a "threat" to Phone.com?? Not sure how you see that. Nokia uses the WAP standard.

Mark, << It seems to me that Nokia is a threat to Phone.com >> When in Europe recently (where all the telcoms are talking about WAP) I picked up on a conversation that there were 3 major competetive players in WAP server space. Phone.com and Nokia were mentioned but I missed the 3rd. Not HP since reselling Nokia. Can you advise who the 3rd is? - Eric -
