Internet Access on Cell Phones

from the too-much dept

I think people are going a little overboard on wireless predictions. First, here's a guy who is saying that people won't use computers to access the internet any more because they'll only do it over cell phones. While I agree that some people in some situations will (and do) find it useful to be able to access the internet from cell phones, I still don't see it as a major way of accessing the internet. I highly doubt that people will give up full computers for their cell phones. Finally, though, here's an article that agrees that for the time being, at least, accessing the internet by phone is more of a pain than the next big thing.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
