Abstract
Broadband
wireless Internet will represent the convergence of the two most
important phenomena in Information Technology in the last decade:
the growth of the Internet and mobile telephony. Wireless technology
will play a significant role in shaping the future evolution of
our computing/communications infrastructure, and will have profound
implications for the industry structure of the ICT industries.
This paper compares and contrasts two technologies: 3G cellular
and WiFi WLAN. These two technologies are simultaneously complements
and substitutes, and offer quite different paths for the future
development of the broadband wireless Internet.
