DVG Research: US Public Wireless Network Carriers are in Danger of Losing Their Ownership of Mobile Communication Service Customers.Business/Technology/Telecommunications Editors LAWRENCE Lawrence. 1 City (1990 pop. 26,763), Marion co., central Ind., a residential suburb of Indianapolis, on the West Fork of the White River.

This is one of several, key findings detailed in a research brief issued by the DVG DVG Divers Gauche (France, politics) DVG Discrete Value Group DVG Deutsche Vakuum-Gesellschaft eV (German Vacuum Society) DVG Digital Video Generator DVG Digital Voice Guard Research unit of Daedalus Venture Group, LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol.

"Individuals are now deluged with communication connectivity that ranges from cellular telephone calls, instant messaging Exchanging text messages in real time between two or more people logged into a particular instant messaging (IM) service. Instant messaging is more interactive than e-mail because messages are sent immediately, whereas e-mail messages can be queued up in a mail server for seconds or and streaming media See streaming audio, streaming video and digital media hub. to on-the-go access to legacy corporate databases through a variety of devices," said Adam Needles, director of DVG Research. "These diverse layers of personal and work-related communication networks are increasingly intertwined, and this is creating both opportunities and challenges to individuals' management of these connections. We believe the product of this environment is the emergence of a new class of end-user -- the `pervasive communication end-user' -- who demands products and services that enable this individual to intelligently and efficiently manage his or her increasing connectivity." Based on a six-month marketplace study, DVG Research has been able to define and measure a distinctive US pervasive communication marketplace, which consists of the aggregate group of emerging products and services that are directed toward management of personal communication connectivity in a new and unique value-chain. "The rapid growth in the number of pervasive communication end-users and the subsequent impact that this group will exert on the broader emerging communication technology sector, will change the nature of the value-chain that currently delivers communication products and services to these individuals," said Needles. "At a fundamental level, network connectivity will become a given and will increasingly occur not only via public-carrier networks but also via peer-to-peer and local-area connections. In this scenario we believe that core communication intelligence primarily will be contained in the embedded Inserted into.

Custom-programmed middleware solutions have been developed for decades to enable one application to communicate with another that either runs on a different platform or comes from a and network protocol interfaces that manage these wireless and wireline connections. Thus, the companies developing software and hardware technologies in these areas are the ones we believe will eventually seize seize v.

"This is where we see a rapidly-growing realm of new-venture opportunities." DVG Research estimates that approximately one in ten individuals in the US are already using early-stage pervasive communication products and services, which include examples such as synchronization (1) See synchronous and synchronous transmission. (2) Ensuring that two sets of data are always the same. See data synchronization. (3) Keeping time-of-day clocks in two devices set to the same time. See NTP. software and wireless local-area networking devices. Yet this group constitutes only a quarter of the total market opportunity for pervasive communication products and services -- pointing to what DVG Research believes represents a significant and growing market-segment opportunity within the aggregate, emerging communication technology sector. DVG Research predicts that given current technology development trends there will be nearly 100 million actual pervasive communication end-users in the US by 2005.
