COMS tremendous opportunity; 750 millions wireless potential, imagine that number each paying 20$, COMS will be big, very big; will overshadow CSCO by several magnitudes in revenue by that time; COMS is a BIG bargain NOW! all imo - ================================================= Wireless Internet Access See Strong Growth (06/01/99, 5:33 p.m. ET) By Andrew Dornan, Data Communications By 2004, more end-users will access the Internet via handheld mobile terminals than wireline connections, according to a report published Friday by the ARC Group, in the United Kingdom. The consultancy expects more than 1 billion Internet subscribers in five years; 750 million will use mobile terminals, while 670 million will use landlines. ARC said new technologies and cheaper handhelds are driving the surge in mobile access. For example, the report predicts that by 2002 universal mobile transmission systems (UMTS) and similar third-generation cellular standards will push bandwidth to 2 megabits per second, rendering modem links obsolete. UMTS has been defined by the European Telecom Standards Institute, but is only starting to be implemented. According to ARC, low earth-orbit satellites from by companieslike Teledesic, in Kirkland, Wash., will bring mobile data to otherwise unreachable regions by 2004. It indicates that the shift to wireless Internet access will be strongest in Western Europe.
