Mr. Tyra commented on the unexpectedly slow adoption of consumer-oriented wireless data applications by the general population, comparing the situation to that of the early stages of the cellular phone industry. "There is every reason to expect that, just as business users, not consumers, were first to be trained to use cellular phones when they were first available; so too, in the emerging wireless data market, business urst step forward for this emerging market, which is now occurring, will be the deployment of wireless data applications for business workgroups that have a number of mobile employees and/or remote/mobile devices. These workgroups will be found in such diverse businesses as parts distribution, construction, hospitals, insurance claims, estimators, refineries, sales, large manufacturing facilities and the like. "Applications must be able to connect stationary, PC-based employees with key mobile employees with consistent interfaces and communication concepts." "However," he continued, "business managers will not provide training in wireless data application use unless they can be shown that there are significant cost savings or competitive advantages to be gained." Tyra went on to say, "Today's applications must reflect the fact that currently, U.S. wireless networks are limited in their data transmission and handling capabilities. The winning applications will be those desirge Web-content downloads, is not consistent with the reality of current U.S. wireless infrastructure and comessaging, Web surfing Refers to jumping from page to page on the Web.
