According to a group of the telco's top technologists and futurologists, the areas of mobile working using Wi-Fi, broadband, and IP networking all saw very significant progress in 2003. Having been three of the best-utilised new technologies of the year, BT Exact is predicting that they will spawn a surge of useful applications during this decade.
"2003 has seen big strides forward for a number of technologies that have been on the radar for some time now, such as broadband and WiFi," said Stewart Davies, chief executive of BT Exact. "Next year is going to be even more exciting with technologies such as 3G and smart cards reaching fruition and the real beginnings of other radical technologies that are going to shape our worlds as 21st century citizens."More @
