Are We Ready For The Mobile Internet?

CNET said:

The answer depends on whom you ask. Some experts say the mobile Internet is already here. Millions of people throughout the world are accessing wireless application protocol, or WAP, Web sites--stripped-down sites specially designed for mobile handsets. But other experts argue that WAP sites are too limited. Some people say an entirely new domain name, called "dot-mobi," should be used for Web sites that are optimized for mobile surfing. Still others propose using intelligent browsers to turn traditional Web sites into something that can be viewed on a small handset.

"We're just waiting for all the pieces to come together," said Linda Barrabee, program manager for Wireless and Mobile at Yankee Group in the U.S. "I think once carriers improve the experience and solve the network and handset penetration issues, the services will become a lot more appealing to consumers."

习惯和好奇，是一切东西吸引人们的理由。

Mobile Internet如果新奇和有趣，那么会成为潮流，从而引领人们进入Mobile Internet 时代。不过，可能性显然不大，技术限制和想象力要求太高了，要突破技术瓶颈所需要的时间又太久了，我们等不及。

于是，通过技术使PC Internet的内容和体验同等或者基本同等的迁移到Mobile Internet上，就是更可行的办法了。无缝的网络浏览体验迁移，网络基础设备和终端接收器都要涌起大片缺口。这是切入点。
