Internet Cell Phones
by Dr. Kevin Nunley

Recently I wrote an article on how cell phones are getting used on the Internet. Two million people will have these phones by next year and some say as many as 23 million will be dialing the Internet by 2003.

Amid all this explosive growth, nobody really knows how web phones will be used. Your ideas are as good as the "experts." Charles Scott wrote with an interesting angle: "What about this - a consumer, Roger, is in the market for say a new sofa.

A dedicated key on his cell phone, when activated, broadcasts to all points--I need a new sofa!" Immediately this call goes out to the participating furniture stores along with Roger's phone number. These stores have special equipment to receive and answer these calls. Roger's phone can store the responding stores' addresses, email, and web sites until he is ready to make a purchase.
