MobileInfo Comments and Advisory: Many analysts support brighter outlook for wireless data in the enterprise. Our discussion with the wireless service providers tell us that they too have started realizing that consumer wireless data will take a back seat to the enterprise in the short to medium term. In the long term, it will probably be what service providers wanted to be true in the short-term i.e. consumer wireless Internet to take off. We always felt that enterprise will come before the consumer.
