New technology marrying the Internet with mobile phones will be the next big wave in telecommunications and will have a great effect on the way of life-industry, experts in Singapore for an international conference side last week.
Consumers（消費(fèi)者） will soon be showing of tiny “communication devices” that join mobile telephone ,Internet terminals（終端機(jī)） ,music systems, cameras and other uses, Nokia executive（總裁） Bo Lisoe said.
The devices will become smaller, and as common as watches ,Lisoe believed.“We have to liberate the internet from the desktop and we have to rethink what a mobile phone is , because it’s no longer a mobile phone ,”said Lisoe, a marketing director for Nokia.
Tiny, wireless computers using satellites and video-on-demand services will soon have people “switching（轉(zhuǎn)換） between your stock （股票）prices and television programs ”wherever they go ,said Sugra Venkat, a communications director at Oracle Corporation .Bothe executives were in Singapore for Communic Asia’ 99,Asia’s largest telecommunications conference. More than 27,000 industry insiders and 900 companies were connected with the Jane 22-25event, organizers said.
Though small ,portable (手提的) Internet computers with built-in mobile phones are already on the market ,they have had limited success. Internet-telephone technology(IT) must be made easier to use ,and must be used no matter what kind of phone one has ,Lisoe said .This will be aided largely by a planned mobile phone operating system called Symbian ,he added.
Increased access（路徑） to communication satellites and mobile phone networks, along with faster and larger international cable systems, are likely to make wireless Internet access explode in the next few years, said some scientist who attended the conference .
