The World Wide Web beckons. Mobile devices manufacturers and consumers have realized that the Web is not tied to their PCs. The time for the truly Mobile Web is here.

There has been a phenomenal increase in subscribers using browsers to download ringtones, wallpapers and games from operator portals. Newer, more capable devices and browsers stretch the limits of what the Mobile Web constitutes to give subscribers a tantalizing glimpse of the world beyond operator portals. Browsers are firmly moving away from being a novelty - an item of curiosity, on a phone, to a facility whose frequency of use is next only to that of the venerable dialler and the phone book.
