Assertion #45

Software functionality and other services traditionally provided by internal IT departments will be increasingly delivered "over the Net" via supply chains composed of multiple external service providers.

In the last several years, the telecommunications trade and business press have been bombarding executives with rosy projections about the world of wireless data and the mobile Internet applications they can look forward to when 3G (third-generation wireless, which is broadband digital) arrives.
