from Tobin Smith

from Tobin SmithMy sources inside the FCC laugh out loud when you ask them about 3G. You see, in order for this technology to be successful in the U.S., the armed forces have to willingly give up the bandwidth. And after 9/11?in the new age of ?electronic warfare??that ain?t gonna happen. So far 3G is a BUST in the rest of the world?even in tech-loving Japan. Battery drain is ridiculous. And even when the phones work, there?s little in the way of worthwhile services. Don?t look for improvement anytime soon. Telecom companies are BROKE?they?ve borrowed a trillion dollars worldwide already. And if they could invest more, what do we really want? I know what I want?a cell phone that works?no static, no dropped calls, no dead zones. Forget about downloading music over my cell phone. Aha! Here?s the kicker: No one yet has the research to prove that consumers will shell out big bucks for a bunch of fancy new cell phone tricks. And those, my friend, are the reasons why I call 3G Wireless Wall Street?s next BURNING MATCH. Get caught holding stocks like Qualcomm, Motorola or Sprint PCS? and you?re going to get burned! Now let me share a ?secret? that the Qualcomm promoters aren?t telling you. There?s already a better solution for business people and other folks, who want to access the Internet the ?wireless way.? It?s faster than 3G; more practical; and it?s spreading at an incredibly rapid rate. It?s called Wi-Fi (short for ?wireless fidelity"). And all it takes is a cheap base unit plugged into a single broadband line?to create a local, high speed wireless network anyone can tap. These networks are springing up all over the place?hotels, coffee shops, corporations, malls, conference centers, airports, the home, you name it. Just power up your laptop or handheld and surf all you want for a small monthly fee.Wi-Fi is WHITE-HOT?unlike most tech sectors. Your gains could easily reach 50% in 6-months? time?and after that, the sky?s the limit. Want to know more? You can get my new ?Wi-Fi Profit Alert? RIGHT NOW online?I?ll tell you how in just a second. But let me give you the highlights now: Here?s how it works for a typical business user paying $25 or so a month. Say you?re a salesman, on the road more often than not. You can check your e-mail before leaving JFK in New York. When you get to your hotel in St. Louis, you can connect to the main office using the same system. Stop in at a Starbucks, and you can download those new specs you need in a flash. This is all wireless?and you?re not messing around with any clumsy cell phones. All your laptop or handheld needs is a tiny antenna. The connection is fast, reliable and powerful?it?s BROADBAND, 300-times faster than some pitifully slow cell phone connection. Remember how fast AOL grew at its height?that?s when you wanted to own that stock. Now Wi-Fi is your second chance to get in on a proven thing early. Today, users are approaching 5 million in number, according to the Gartner Group. But that?s just the start. Almost all the new notebooks and laptops are coming Wi-Fi ready. Users should rise to 75 million by 2005. Companies all over the world are deploying Wi-Fi systems on-site. It?s the first, truly dependable high-speed wireless network?and an incredible productivity tool. Imagine meetings where someone asks an unexpected question, and you can access the answers immediately?without leaving the conference room! The next big market? Your home. Wi-Fi is the perfect way to share broadband connections. The kids can download music files?Mom can e-mail video of Susie?s Soccer game to the grandparents?and Dad can log onto an interactive conference?all at home, all at the same time. This market could grow fivefold within three years. Are you starting to get the picture? 3G cell phones are the hype of ?what tomorrow will bring.? But Wi-Fi is delivering more?faster?with better quality already. Bet on 3G and you?ll be left holding the BURNING MATCH. Invest in Wi-Fi, and you?ll likely make a small fortune in the next three years. Take a look at our booming Wi-Fi companies now, IMMEDIATELY online in our new ?Wi-Fi Profit Alert.?
