1) The mobile phone market has grown rapidly with over 1.3 billion users globally and mobile networks expanding to reach more of the world's population. 2) Various wireless technologies are being developed and tested to deliver broadband internet access to both fixed and mobile users. These include 3G, WiFi, WiMax and other proprietary standards. 3) Different wireless technologies have advantages for different use cases depending on required data rates, range, mobility and other factors. Integration of these technologies into a common IP-based network is seen as key to delivering flexible multi-service connectivity.

6. Hype continues unabated Nextel Steps Up Data Race Unstrung (May 14 2004) – Nextel Communications Inc. has ramped up its Flash-OFDM trial with startup Flarion Technologies, announcing a set of tariff plans that will provide a real market test for the vendor’s “alternative wireless broadband” technology (see Nextel Extends Flarion Trial). BT ready for WiMax drive ZDNet UK (February 23, 2004) – WiMax is creating quite a stir in tech circles and BT is already using it to bring broadband to four rural locations. Could this be followed by a major rollout? Four radio-broadband trials being conducted by BT in rural parts of the UK could be the prelude to a full-scale deployment of WiMax in Britain. Intel’s High Hopes for WiMAX Wi-Fi networking news (Jan 2004) – During a speech at the Wireless Communications Association conference this week, Intel predicted that the next 10 years would be defined by broadband wireless: Intel has become a big supporter of WiMAX, hoping to see Wi-Fi and WiMAX bundled into computers. Siemens plans to develop WiMAX network solution RCR Wireless News (March 2004) – Siemens Information and Communication Mobile Group said it plans to develop a complete solution for WiMAX radio networks, which will be available in the second half of next year.
