According to a recent study conducted by the Pew Internet and American Life Project, most people who connect to the Internet with mobile devices are moving effortlessly around the world with universal standards. Analysts and researchers are of the opinion that this vision would become a reality faster outside the U.S. The Pew study also reveals that there will be major improvements to the Internet, rather than a new Internet. The prediction that most Internet access will be through mobile devices includes an expectation that telephony Relevant Products/Services throughout the world will be offered "under a set of universal standards and protocols" so users can have "reasonably effortless movement from one part of the world to another." Industry researchers are of the opinion that the movement toward universal standards is well under way, with the rest of the world already more in sync with each other than the United States is. The prediction is that access to the Net through mobile devices for most people could "very well happen" before 2020 in emerging nations. It has also been noted that countries with fewer investments in an existing infrastructure could more easily move to a new generation of mobile access. The report also contends that people will be more tolerant than today because of wider exposure via the Internet and other communications Relevant Products/Services technologies. This, the report predicts, will lead to lower levels of violence, including sectarian strife, and fewer overt acts of hate crimes. The Pew report predicts that next-generation research will improve a continually refined architecture, but there won't be a completely new Internet. The report was developed from a survey of more than a thousand Internet specialists and analysts selected with an opt-in process. The survey participants were located in two ways. One was by canvassing scholarly, government and business documents from 1990 to 1995 to see who had made predictions about the Internet. Several hundred of those participants responded to the first two surveys by Pew and Elon. The other group was selected because of their involvement in the development of the Internet or because they were involved in the leadership of such organizations as the Internet Society, the Association for Computing Machinery, the World Wide Web Consortium, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. |
