      Ericsson Sees WLAN Boosting Demand for Cell Phones

      Swedish telecoms equipment maker Ericsson believes wireless local-area networks (WLAN) will help change consumer behavior and spur demand for fast data access everywhere, boosting 3G mobile phone demand.” WLAN should create more competitive service packages for businesses and make customers ask for more fast data service outside the local area,” Per Nordlof, head of Ericssons WLAN program, told a seminar last week.

      Radiation of Wi-Fi

      Somerset County Council (SCC) advised its employees not to install wireless networks in the countys schools and offices until its carried out a full investigation into the safety of the technology. The British Educational Technological and Communications Agency (BECTa) published an information sheet about wireless networks in schools. The group said: “There has been a lot of discussion about the health and safety implications of using wireless networks. Given the current focus on the use of mobile phones, this worry is understandable.

      The China Syndrome

      Is the SARS outbreak in China a serious problem for the technology industry? SARS is probably having some impact on sales of cell phones in China, according to Paul R. La Monica, CNN/Money Senior Writer. There are plenty of anecdotes about the Chinese retail industry grinding to a halt due to SARS fears. But while the disease is probably exacerbating the problem, the real issue is a glut of phones in China.
