ABSTRACT

Wireless voice has been at the top of the growth chart for quite a long time since it displaced the Internet, but history is getting repeated and wireless data connectivity is quickly gaining momentum across the globe. Most home and business users have, to some degree, calculated the advantages of switching data traffic to a wireless connection. Users are becoming more reliant on their mobile phones even for data, thereby using their landlines less and less, and eventually they will see little need to continue both services. Further, the rapid development of broadband wireless access (BWA) technologies has changed the dynamics decisively in favor of wireless.
