I dont know if I would want the services of a company that calls itself
'WASP' It might feed the controversy that minorities are being left out of
the information age, and that the new economy is only meant for White Anglo
Saxon Protestant. The selection of a name and acronym can make or break a
business, no matter how good the idea.

> SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 11, 2000--With the ranks
> of mobile workers growing and wireless technology advancing rapidly,
> many U.S. companies are eager to make key applications accessible via a
> host of wireless devices.
> According to high tech market research firm Cahners In-Stat Group
> (http://www.instat.com), there will be more than 700 million wireless
> Internet subscribers by 2004. However, wireless data technology is still
> immature and requires integration of multiple vendors' equipment and
> software.
> A new class of outsourcer, Wireless-Enabling Application Service
> Providers (W-ASPs), has emerged to assist companies with the difficult
> task of making all the pieces in the wireless puzzle fit together.
> "W-ASPs are responsible for keeping up with fast-changing technology and
> assume the risk of implementing and supporting the wireless web," says
> Rebecca Diercks, In-Stat's director of wireless research.
>
> W-ASPs provide:
>
> -- Translation services -- porting or translating web content to
> wireless networks including initial setup and maintenance.
> -- Wireless application services -- data applications delivered for a fee.
> -- M-Services content -- Internet content translated and delivered
> through the wireless network.
> -- Wireless infrastructure technology and services -- including
> software, hardware, consulting and custom implementation delivered to
> the wireless carrier, content provider or wireless ASP.
>
> W-ASPs help companies provide wireless access to vital systems like
> field service personnel scheduling and deployment, customer relationship
> management applications, fleet asset tracking, and corporate databases.
> Today, although nearly 70% of mobile workers have mobile phones, less
> than 4% have wireless access to e-mail or corporate intranets, In-Stat
> says. W-ASPs will likely help boost the numbers of wireless Internet
> users over the next several years.
> The report, W-ASPs: Enabling M-Services and Wireless Internet
> Applications (No.MD0005MD), includes a detailed explanation of
> Wireless-Enabling Application Service Providers' business strategies
> including pricing models, analysis of the market opportunity and
> expectations of the industry's growth. It also includes a look at
> wireless technology from a customer perspective, an analysis of relevant
> wireless equipment and profiles of leading vendors. To purchase this
> report, or for more information, please visit

> Kissel at 480/609-4531; ckissel@instat.com. The report price is $2,995.

> spectrum of digital communications research from vendor to end-user,
> providing the analysis and perspective that allows technology vendors
> and service providers worldwide to make more informed business decisions.
