Abstract
High-speed Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) data service was the topic of the most recent survey of In-Stat/MDR’s Wireless Panel. Overall, the wireless data market has been growing slowly, but is on an up-tick, and high-speed technology represents one enabler helping the market grow. High-speed networks based on EDGE, UMTS, CDMA 1xRTT EVDO and EVDV will continue to be built out throughout the course of the next few years. Carriers must now grapple with issues such as the price that users will pay to access these services, whether they will use them as a replacement to hotspot (public wireless LAN) and/or wireline data services such as cable and DSL, what the driving applications are (from both a business and consumer perspective), and which types of devices they will use to access these services. These are some of the questions that are answered in this report.
