Users world-wide are getting the message with simple SMS

Article Abstract:

Wireless application protocol (WAP) has not lived up to its potential because consumers do not like overly-complicated communication mechanisms, while short message service (SMS) continues to gain popularity due to its simplicity. Advancements in service and technology are making short message service better, while rumored virus problems are as yet unsubstantiated. Junk mail problems exist, though police in Amsterdam have turned this downside into an upside using spamming techniques to make stolen phones worthless.

Indonesian tech firms find necessity is the mother of better online access

Article Abstract:

Ratelindo's HomeNetPlus cable-modem access is the company's answer to the search for better Internet access. The company, a member of the debt-laden Bakrie Group, was originally established as a provider of fixed-cellular telephone service. However, the low number of subscribers forced Ratelindo to look for other uses for equipment that are already in place. The answer came in the form of HomeNetPlus, a cable modem that offers Internet access of as much as 20 megabits per second.
