Caxton,

They hav advertised "data" services, I think it is debatable whether, or not, it can be considered a "success", although there is revenue growth.

I believe that, in the future, mobile phones will be data appliances. We are basically in the 2nd generation of "smart phones"...

Do you remember the 1st and 2nd generations of computers and how "primitive" they were and let's limit computers to home uses (not that huge mainframes)...

Only until large color screens become prevalent on cell phones and at "attractive" prices will data services become prevalent. Perhaps that will happen in about 3-5 yrs....

There are lots of ads for wireless web by PCS. All the ads where the guy in the trenchcoat helps out somebody with SCAPEGOAT written across their forhead are for the wireless web. He is saying the person is a business scapegoat because he/she can't get to e-mail and web access to data. Maybe you are saying that this is mostly a business ad and not a consumer wireless web ad? It is everywhere in papers and on TV. Just saw one now on ABC.
