This chapter describes wireless technologies that can be used for carrying IP data. UMTS is one of these technologies; it has had a high profile due to the cost of its licences but is also another technology that may change the shape of the Internet with its ability to bring IP applications to potentially billions of mobile terminals. Other wireless technologies with a potential to change our lives are wireless LAN and Bluetooth - wireless LAN may free many users from plumbing their offices and homes with cables, while Bluetooth will enable a new type of data network, a data network for our personal space.
