The Wireless World Is All Coming Together Now
Admittedly a bit of a puff piece from Business Week, but it does a good job summarizing the fact that one of the things that's making wireless so exciting these days is the fact that all the various wireless technologies are finally coming together in a way that is truly useful. There are better wireless networking technologies, better devices, better applications and better operating systems designed to take advantage of wireless connections. Having all those factors come together finally could mean a huge boom in the applications world - as there are now plenty of new applications to be written and plenty old applications to be adjusted to take advantage of more ubiquitous wireless access. Of course, we're always a bit cautious around articles promoting the idea that we're about to enter wireless Nirvana, it is still good to get an idea of the potential as the various pieces fall into place.
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
