U.S. Mobile Internet Access Markets
Frost & Sullivan, August 2001
Technological Enhancements, Changing Consumer Preferences Drive Market
The wireless data market is characterized by rapidly advancing technologies,
shifting consumer trends, and the ongoing introduction of products and
applications. The emergence of wireless Internet has created new
opportunities and challenges in this dynamic industry. For participants, gaining
market share relies on the ability to develop and distribute innovative services
in a timely and competitive manner. As consumer demands become more
sophisticated, it will be crucial to improve the performance, content, and reliability
of wireless systems.
This Frost & Sullivan analysis provides readers with an in-depth view of the
mobile Internet access markets. By identifying end user trends and growth
opportunities, this research allows companies to devise successful strategies
to capitalize on this robust industry.
Evolving Work Environment Spurs Demand for Mobile Communication
The necessity for round-the-clock connectivity in the United States has
bolstered the overall demand for mobile solutions. Trends such as
telecommuting, flexible work schedules, and the need for a responsive
support and sales staff will also contribute to significant growth within
the industry.
Corporations are finding it more effective to equip work forces with
wireless-enabled personal digital assistants (PDAs) or smart telephones as
opposed to computer laptops, which take longer to gain access, cost more,
and are ill suited for a purely mobile environment, say the authors of
this research.
Industry Focuses on Consumer-Centric Applications
Enterprise applications and business professionals are expected to drive
acceptance of Third-Generation (3G) technology. However, the growth and
evolution of wireless electronics such as cellular telephones, PDAs, pagers, and
other handheld devices clearly establish the consumer as a major market driver.
Consumer-centric applications such as email, business directories, and maps
will continue to thrive in the future. Though corporate telemetry and wireless
Intranets will grow, the 3G boom is expected to be in the consumer
segment, state the analysts.
This Frost & Sullivan research answers important questions concerning mobile
Internet access markets, allowing your company to maximize its profits within
this lucrative field.
