Abstract
As Wi-Fi and cellular networks become increasingly complementary, worldwide
demand for integrated online services is rising. Services that combine Wi-Fi
and cellular networks are the only way to let consumers overcome geographical
limitations.
In addition, the vehicle for wireless Internet services has extended from
mobile phones to 3G/3.5G data cards and notebook PCs equipped with 3G/3.5G
receiver modules. These types of notebook PCs have not only helped notebook PC
vendors increase product differentiation amid fierce competition in the
marketplace, but have also brought new momentum to the wireless Internet
trend. Still, no matter what form wireless Internet takes, the attitude of
mobile operators toward promotion will be the key to setting off a wave of
demand in Taiwan' s wireless Internet market.
