THE MOBILE INTERNET
The increasing popularity of mobile devices, such as PDAs,
handhelds, and digital cellular phones, is beginning to change
our perceptions of the Internet. A need has been generated to
allow users to attach to any domain convenient to their current
location. Confident access to the Internet anytime and anywhere
will help free users from the ties that bind them to their
desktops. A mobile networking environment has the potential
not just to extend that flexibility but to fundamentally change the
way the world communicates across administrative boundaries
and geographical constraints. Users may now begin to enjoy the
convenience of seamless and continuous connectivity to the
Internet.
