I'm sure wireless communication and data services will be just as hot as the touch tone POTS line in your home is. And no, I don't consider my POTS line "new" and "hot". Its probably the most utilitarian service I subscribe to, next to the water, electricity, and garbage services.
Eventually, data services will become something like electricity. While nothing interesting has happened to the consumer delivery of electricity in the past 75 years, we will be continuously amazed over what new products, devices, and applications which make use of electricity. Those new applications will always be "new", "cool" and "hot". I thought a mature data network was what everyone wanted? Someday I hope a time will come where mailing lists like this do not exist. > -----Original Message----- > From: Niranjay Ravindran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2004 11:44 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [BAWUG] Wireless communication and data services - > will they saturate? > > > So where are wireless communications and data services > headed?
