This is a very arbitrary and short sited statement based on current technology.  
Wireless is a very fast changing market.  Also
when broad band comes in, there is going to be a lot of changes.  What I have seen of 
push both on the desktop and wireless has
been a miserable failure.  In fact, I have refused consulting for two companies seeing 
that they view this new technology as just
another electronic printing press.  Power to the people! :)
