Andres Llana · Information Systems Security · 2002
It is projected that by year-end 2002 we will have 400 million Internet subscribers and 600 million mobile phone users. As a result of this expansion, there will be a growing demand for wireless data services with a corresponding demand for quick access to information from any location — hence the watchwords of “any place, any where, any time.” While WAP does provide access to the Internet, a “killer” application has not yet made an appearance.
