As an end-user, WAP now allows you easy and secure access to relevant content and other services through your mobile phones or other wireless device. But, by increasing your existing Internet skills and knowledge you have opportunity to create new products, increase your customer base, build new alliances and venture partnerships branded just for wireless industry.

Even domain names are going fast. I myself have purchased such names as WMLDesigner.com and WMLMasters.com, as I'm sure some of you have already obtained a few yourselves. A friend and reader, Trevor Mayes of has purchased names like WapCard.uk.com and Wap-Card.uk.com. Although many have been purchased in a relatively short time (Wap.com only purchased on 20-Jan-2000 by a company from Oslo), I'm sure that many are still available.

Rather than to impossibly try to provide you with all information you may need in this one small article, I'll give you some links to get you started in discovering possibilities that await you in this new and exciting arena of information exchange.

Wireless Technologies are here and waiting for you to take advantage of them!

With my Web phone I can connect myself quickly and without bothering my client. And my ability to connect so quickly and easily makes a VERY good impression on even most reluctant potential client! After I'm done they all want to know how I "did that"! I had one client take a sour look at his own cellular phone and toss it across his desk. "Another 18 months on that contract but I don't care. I'm getting one of these," he said as he admired my Sprint PCS setup.

There must be dozens of circumstances where almost anyone doing business on Net could benefit from a Sprint PCS phone and Web Connectivity Kit. Some I've mentioned here from my own experience, and other circumstances may be unique to your own business or situation. Whether you have been thinking of getting a wireless connection for some time or you are just learning that it’s possible today, don't let a fear of technology stop you. As I've said before, this is almost "dummy proof" to set up, and connecting to Net is really as simple as anything you may be using currently.

The cost involved isn't that bad either, unless you don't already have a laptop. I can't imagine lugging that faithful old Gateway CPU and 21-inch monitor off to park. Besides, where would your desktop power plug go, unless you have a 16-mile-long extension cord. No, a laptop is pretty much a requirement, to use this neat new technology while you also enjoy fresh air and life outside cubicle.

In addition to laptop, all you will need is a Sprint PCS Wireless Web phone and Connectivity Kit. No, a regular PCS phone or a PrimeCo phone won't work. The phone HAS to be a Sprint "Web ready" phone in order to be able to receive data.

I spent about $175 on my phone and Web Connectivity kit was just $99. The kit includes cable you need to connect your phone to your laptop, a setup manual, a CD with software you need, and a cable adapter for connecting handheld and palm-sized computers.

On Sprint site there is a four-step tour that explains just how easy it is to set up and use. Have a look around and see for yourself. Just click on Wireless data link and take tour:

So if you're like me and want a little freedom this summer, without abandoning your clients, or you'd just like to make your job a little easier, indoors or out, I definitely recommend getting connected with a Wireless Web phone. I haven't regretted it for a minute, and I may even have to apply a little sun screen lotion while I’m working with my clients this summer!
