: : Hi Tore!
: : Your name sounds very danish, are you...?
: Close, I'm norwegian
: : I wrote a letter to admin, if it is also you I apoligize to this, but I would like to hear your opionien about what companies that will benefit most from the WAP revolution in the coming years?
: I got your mail, but thank you for using the discussion forum, then others can read our discussion.
: : The reason I am asking is I want to invest a bit of my savings in Wap related companies, if it is listed on a stock exchange. Thanks in advance for your kind reply.
: There is a lot of WAP activities now, when i started this site one year ago, the attention was low, but now WAP has become hot.
: Then the question of where to invest.
: The big money are to be found in startups, but 9 of 10 startups will fail, so it's a risky investment.
: Exsisting businesses who will benefit from WAP:
: - Terminal vendors will sell even more terminals
: (you have to throw away your old terminal and buy a new one, then you get GPRS and Bluetooth, then UMTS, ....)
: So the terminal business will be a nice business for a long time
: - Then you have Phone.com. I have known Phone.com since WAP was launced 2 years ago, and they have been doing a good job,
: but at the same time they are playing with the big guys, so there is risk involved
: - Intranets will become wireless, and everyone delivering intranet solutions will have a lot to do
: - Internet consulting companies will appear as WAP experts, telling how good they are, and earn a lot of money
: - Portals will develop wap access to their portals
: - Startups will start new innovative projects wich will create new fortunes
: The opportunities are big in many areas.
: I am not able to identify the perfect investment,
: if I was able to do that, I would have sold my computer, invested all my money, and waited for the big money to arrive in my bank account
