Synopsis

From the beginning of the 21st century, we've been invaded by acronyms and terms related to wireless technology. These include UMTS, GPRS, WAP, SMS, 3G and Bluetooth, iMode, Blackberry and m-commerce. Heavily-hyped, the phenomenon has happened fast. Spurred on by the billions of euros that telecom operators committed to buy the rights to use airwaves from governments, it has grown even faster. But what is the wireless Internet? How is the technology evolving and its uses becoming apparent? When will the promised life-changing wireless services finally materialize? "Roam" cuts through the hype to set out the challenges and opportunities.
