"Data will increase as a piece of the pie, but I don't imagine it ever growing larger than voice," Signorini said. "We see greater interest in developing wireless data solutions among large businesses than small ones." Twenty-four percent of large businesses are launching or testing wireless WANs (wide-area networks), compared with 12 percent of small and midsize businesses, he said. In the next two years, however, the small and midsize market could see an additional 22 percent of companies launching or testing wireless WAN, according to the survey.

Small and midsize businesses will nearly double spending on wireless services this year, a new report says, The small- and midsize-business market for wireless services is expected to grow 93 percent in 2004, compared with last presidio sport case for apple iphone 7 and iphone 8 - black/poppy red year, That represents average spending of $356,000 per company for wireless services, according to the report, "I would imagine that wireless, in general, is displacing landline usage, as the (small and midsize) market becomes increasingly mobile," said Eugene Signorini, a wireless analyst at Yankee, "A smaller company generally has a higher percentage of mobile workers, because they usually require more of their workers to be out supporting customers."..

The demonstration is a sign that the wireless and airline industries are confident that federal restrictions on in-cabin cell phone use will be lifted. The ban was borne of concerns that the calls could compromise equipment onboard the plane and on the ground. "We did not put anyone in any danger" during the flight, said Paul Guckian, senior director of technology at Qualcomm. The company plans to turn over data it culled during the test to the Federal Communications Commission and to the Federal Aviation Administration, which jointly oversee cell phone use on aircraft.

Telephone companies have been eager to give in-flight systems a try, because airplane passengers are a captive audience for making voice calls or using an Internet connection for work or entertainment, To date, their efforts have mainly consisted of installing phones into seatbacks or offering broadband access for laptops, Should cell phone calling be allowed on planes, airlines may have to contend with a backlash from passengers who don't want to hear someone else's conversation, That happened presidio sport case for apple iphone 7 and iphone 8 - black/poppy red at Amtrak, which banned cell phones from some train cars, after rider complaints of "cell yell" and other wireless annoyances..

Qualcomm and American Airlines demo an onboard cell phone service at 30,000 feet. During a two-hour "proof of concept" flight 30,000 feet over Dallas, wireless-gear maker Qualcomm joined American Airlines to show off a service using CDMA, or Code Division Multiple Access, technology. An onboard cellular base station the size of a laptop was linked to a Globalstar satellite, which funneled calls and short text messages to Earth-bound cell phones, Qualcomm said. "Even though commercial availability of cell phone use in-flight is approximately 24 months away, (this is) an important step in bringing in-cabin wireless services to our customers," Dan Garton, an executive vice president American Airlines, said in a statement.
