Infospace guy on CNBC is misinformed. Wireless internet will NOT displace all other forms of access. . . in fact access via set-top box will be the preferred form of access. . . .wireless will be closer to the carrying of a cell phone/pager or a walkman or a Watchman TV. . .yes you can get the internet on your Palm device or your personal handheld or wearable. . .but does that mean you will prefer it? No way. . . .that would be like saying when you are home, you prefer to listen to music over your walkman. . . nope. . . we love cranking up the big speakers. . .same with internet. . . the big display with all the sound will be the rage. . . NOT the handheld device. So when this guy says that E-Commerce and the Portals like Yahoo will go out of biz, because A.T.&T., COMS and Motorola will provide portals for internet access via wireless devices. Instead there will be a divergence of applications. Rande Is
