[Ari Feldman <outdoorminer2002@xxxxxxxxx>]

wireless is on the cusp of really being big in the US despite that
we're 1-2 generations behind the rest of the world.

the main problem with wireless is aside from ringtones, few have
figured out how to make money from it - shade of the dot come
revolution.

however, sharon, you do pose an interesting question. i've heard the
same statements and since i've been involved with advertising
technologies, i know that online advertising is very hot.

it's possible there may be another boom - i sure hope so. it will just
be different from the last one and it could blow either way.

regardless, it will be interesting to watch!
