VoIP capable, so that they can browse the internet

important service in the coming years as device
manufacturers exploit more powerful processors and less
costly memory to meet user needs for ever-more
'power in their pocket'. Smartphones in mid-2006 are
capable of sending and receiving email, browsing the
web (albeit at low rates) and in some cases
allowing a user to watch TV.
The challenge for the mobile operator industry is
to deliver the benefits and innovations of IP
without losing control of the network service.
