October 11, 2001

"I think there has to be the critical mass in the corporate space first to proliferate the wireless technologies that people have in their laptops, because it only makes sense that a current user of wireless technology will want to extend the use from the office to the public space market," said Kurt Scherf, vice president of research at Parks Associates, a Dallas-based market research and consulting firm.

.... "It's the same sort of argument for the home...wireless will come as long as you have enough users in the corporate environment," Scherf added.

From the article "The Fallout from MobileStar," by Bob Liu.
