Lighting a Fire Under Wireless Adoption

by Ian S. Hayes

When will wireless technology finally take off? Its advantages seem obvious and compelling -- freedom from physical connections; information access anytime, anywhere; empowered mobile workers -- yet buyers continue to sit on the sidelines. Battered by overcapacity, enormous wireless infrastructure costs, and slower-than-expected demand, the telecommunications industry is beset by bankruptcies and plunging stock prices. After high initial excitement from the market and investors, device makers and wireless solution providers are now languishing in the current economic malaise. IT organizations, while intrigued by wireless possibilities, remain mostly in the early stages of evaluation.
