Once Wi-Fi technology was embedded into notebooks, wireless LANs really started to take off. We see the same thing happening for wireless WAN. The people who really want mobility while they are away from the corporate LAN or a Wi-Fi hot spot will really find this technology useful.

Mike Callahan

Typically cities have core competencies that include things like sweeping streets and keeping neighborhoods safe, ... But building, running and maintaining a wireless network is a whole different ball game. We think that municipalities that are looking at offering wireless service to their citizens underscore the value proposition that we have in the marketplace.

Jeffrey Nelson

There are numerous cities throughout the country involved in disagreements with Sprint [Wireless].

Scott Grossberg

The combination would be phenomenal. MCI WorldCom has every global service offering of telecom service except for one -- wireless.

Jim Friedland

The cable companies have been talking about getting into the wireless market for about three years and now think that they have a business model that makes sense for them.

Michael Paxton

We think that the most interesting potential for National lies in the wireless market, where the company has the potential to substantially increase its revenue per phone.

Joe Osha

2005 was a record year for CDMA2000 in terms of the number of networks deployed and subscriber growth. CDMA2000 now serves more than 10% of wireless subscribers worldwide, adding new users faster than any other wireless technology in the past. CDMA2000 has been the driving force behind the commercial success of 3G and now, with 1xEV-DO, it is leading the way in wireless broadband.

Perry Laforge

Simply put, these are the best wireless quarterly results from any carrier ever.

Doreen Toben

The rough cut in consolidation has probably occurred by now, but the new industry trend affecting competition is the wireless device evolving into the third or fourth screen for a lot of consumers. But the content they will want in each market will be different. What they want in the Caribbean will be different than what they want in the U.S. [In mobile gaming], it could be dominoes versus poker.

Michael Small

Today's spectrum announcement is great news for American consumers and the U.S. economy. President Bush's committed focus on wireless as a catalyst for technology growth is paying dividends.

Michael Gallagher

There's always been something to replace it that's groovier. Portable, wireless devices are pretty irresistible.

Stacey Snider

You have 23 million wireless customers. The actual complaint rate is a fraction of a thousandth of a percentage. That is an extraordinary rate of customer satisfaction.

Jay Ziegler

Because the wireless infrastructure is already in place, it will be easy and affordable to narrow the 'Digital Divide' for our citizens and to use technology as an educational tool to help public housing residents move closer to self-sufficiency.

Lewis Jordan

I hope people will come in to use the library and see [the wireless Internet] as an additional benefit.

Jenny Emanuel

This quarter, the demand for wireless infrastructure was better than I think most analysts and most investors had expected.

Mark Roberts

It's a very good question. The whole process has definitely gotten more political over the years. The technology used in this standard is the future of wireless (local area networks). It's very important for companies involved to get their market positioning up-front and establish themselves as players as soon as possible.

Craig Mathias

Being near Silicon Valley has its advantages, and one of them is we're at ground zero for the companies doing wireless broadband. The advantage of going in as a team is that we become a much more attractive client because of the number of people we will be offering.

Brian Moura

You have cable companies out there offering voice service; you have wireless; you have voice-over-Internet protocol. So there are all these other options out there.

David Flanagan

There will be an additional need for more tower space in the next three years as wireless data services ramp up. Data travels shorter distances than voice so companies will need to add more sites to ensure the quality of their networks.

James Lee

Patent infringement is a reality in the wireless space. It's an operating distraction, yes. There are only so many fights that you can pick. Though in a way, it also has a value because it ultimately shows people the value of what's being developed in this space and how important it is.

Jill Stelfox

They were shocked at how many users we had in given areas using wireless.

Gavin Leach

Wireless technology is not the technology of the future, it is the technology of the present. If we don't bring technology to rural areas, they won't advance.

David Bridges

Having a wireless play has been essential for anyone who wants to be a full-service telecom player. Sprint is not going to have any problems finding a buyer if this deals falls through.

Graham Finnie

With the completion of our acquisition of Proxim, some of the most recognizable brands in our industry have joined forces. This is a quantum step to allow our customers to provide and enjoy ubiquitous broadband wireless connectivity.

Robert Fitzgerald

There were two key trends in the global wireless market in 2005. First, emerging markets contributed phenomenal levels of subscriber growth. In particular, Russia, India and Indonesia saw major growth in new users in 2005, up 40-50 percent over 2004 levels.

Phil Kendall

MSI takes Marconi further up the value chain in network services and wireless.

George Simpson

Many businesses are delaying rolling out high productivity technologies, such as wireless local area networks and IP telephony systems, because they have seen so much hype about the potential threats.

Lawrence Orans

When they first decided that they were going to do this, they called me into the meeting and they asked me a lot of questions about what we needed. My background is in theater, so I came to it from that direction. We've got a great sound system. We've got 24 wireless body mikes and it's the neatest acoustical theater that I've been in for a long time.

Mark Swezey

Our network continues to be our top priority as we head into 2006. We are committed to providing our customers with the best wireless service in the industry.

Dan Norman

The issue [of wireless security] is not insurmountable. We're just figuring out through development the best approach that would provide the user with a degree of flexibility, but within FIPS rules.

Marlin Forbes

Phone.com is going against some well-capitalized and profitable entities -- Nokia (NOK) and Ericsson. It obviously felt that having more heft would help it to compete with software developers. And Software.com gets an entry into the wireless infrastructure space -- a space that everyone wants to play in. The combined entity will have its work cut out for it.

Seamus Mcateer

It is definitely trial and error. I guess we went through the same process when the cable industry first appeared, and later on with the wireless industry, but you see the Internet has really matured a lot over the last two years and I guess the trial and error, or the art portion, of the analysis is really declining -- though there's still a margin for error.

Eric Melloul

After a disappointing three-year downturn, we are at the beginning of a substantial semiconductor industry up-cycle, in our view. As the use of semiconductors is shifting from PC-centric products to Internet infrastructure and wireless communications such as cellular phones, the industry is enjoying a communications driven boom.

Erika Klauer

There are only so many new niches people can come up with. When everything's said and done, and all the hype dies down, you still have to run a wireless company.

Eric Anderson

It will be a wireless, paperless environment which will be the first in Vancouver Coastal Health.

Ellen Pekeles

Today, there are a billion mobile phone users but only 10 million of them have wireless e-mail. We believe that mobile e-mail should be a commodity just like voice.

Eli Reifman

Although there are a lot of reasons [wireless has been slow to take off], security is still the biggest inhibitor. But we're seeing larger enterprises that are more security-conscious beginning to adopt [wireless] faster.

Ellen Daley

Though we are trimming capital expenditures in 2002, we will continue to invest capital in the right places, namely our major growth drivers, ... It is critical that SBC continue to provide excellent customer service and invest smartly to grow our data, long-distance and wireless revenues.

Edward Whitacre

Cameras, I believe, are moving from the wired world towards the wireless world. It's not going to happen this year but, starting next year, you're going to definitely see some more cameras coming that incorporate wireless-transfer capabilities.

Fred Lee

We've worked closely with Motorola to deliver the world's best music experience on a mobile phone. We're also thrilled to be working with some of the largest wireless carriers in the world to bring this pioneering phone to market.
