- What is meant by a location based service?
- Visit an airline Web site and search for information on WAP or SMS access to booking airline services. Do the same for WAP or SMS services in banking. How do both industries compare?
- Lucent Technologies designs and delivers the systems, services and software that drive next-generation communications networks at: http://www.lucent.com
- Visit the W3C website and find the status of the VoiceXML project. When do you think it will affect business on the Web and what will its impact be?
- Investigate CDMA, GSM or other network technologies for mobile phones and circuit-switched and packet-switched data capabilities.
- According to Nokia:
“The Nokia One Mobile Connectivity Service provides easy and secure access to email, calendar, directory and more from a mobile phone, PDA, PC or fixed-line phone - take your corporate applications mobile.”According to Takeshi Natsuno, media director of Gateway Business Department, NTT Mobile Communications Network, Inc (NTT DoCoMo) of Japan:
Why is a company like Nokia – http://www.nokia.com – described as having end-to-end expertise?
“The mobile phone will be an electronic wallet.”Parts 3, 4 and 6 are at present solutions without a niche to fill. VoIP may have a place (for Lucent) but the overall push to see what can be integrated is a typical technology centered approach to "if you build it they will come".
The truth is that most technology fails.
The reality is that we will move towards integrated mobile platforms, not the phone. CPU time gets cheaper, memory gets cheaper, soon the computer will replace the phone (in my case it to a certain extent has already).
The great part of all this is that data will (and is becoming) be king. Who cares where traffic if going to or from with a data based session. This is an issue for the Telcos (eg Telstra) as this also means no more long distance call charges, but they will gradually move to a new model.
