Sprint today announced a new program and Web site — developer.sprintpcs.com
— geared to help Web developers around the world create their own Sprint PCS
Wireless Web applications or simply make their own Web sites accessible to the
service. The Sprint PCS Application Developer's Program is designed to make it
easy for independent and corporate developers to become a part of one of the
fastest-growing areas in telecommunications — wireless data applications —
and the Sprint PCS Wireless Web.
"Sprint developed this Web site to harness the power of all the application
developers who are looking for a wireless platform for their creations,"
said Jim Ryan, director of Data Applications and Content. "By 2002, more
than 100 million mobile phones will be able to reach the Internet. Through our
Sprint PCS Wireless Web service and the expertise of application developers, we
are aggressively pursuing ways to make wireless data as useful, beneficial and
valuable as possible for our subscribers. It's now easier than ever for
developers to become a part of the Sprint PCS Wireless Web."
Visitors to the Web site can register to access the Sprint PCS Developer's
Toolkit, which is free and includes everything needed to develop wireless
applications for the Sprint PCS Wireless Web or make a Web site accessible to
users of this wireless data service. In addition, visitors can find answers to
frequently asked questions about the program, learn about current partners and
