short takes - Brief Article

Communications News, Feb, 2001

On wireless Web outlook: "`The wireless industry is at the same stage as the Internet was in 1994'. Yeah, and the Backstreet Boys are just like the Beatles."

--Josh Newman, senior editor of Unstrung.com.

On the "Supranet": "Enterprises that recognize the opportunity and challenge presented by the emergence of the Supranet will participate in the next major phase of the Internet. Those who treat the arrival of wireless access to the Internet as just another terminal device and protocol set to worry about will find themselves as far behind as those that thought the Internet was not relevant to their industry or community."

--Simon Hayward, Gartner research director.
