POINT ROBERTS, WA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/30/2004 -- www.InvestingInWireless.com, a global news investor portal that provides cutting edge information and research about the Wireless Stock and Investing sector, is pleased to provide investors with an exclusive report about the quickly changing and evolving wireless sector, and the opportunities that exist for companies in this sector, and consequently, for stock market investors. The article discusses the battle for market dominance that is currently being fought by wireless phone/messaging industry players. Carriers such as Verizon Wireless and Sprint are going head to head with data hardware vendors like Dell and HP, as well as cellular mobile hardware providers like Motorola and Nokia, in a battle for the lucrative business/professional market share. As more data intensive applications become the norm (and that sector is really heating up -- witness the popularity of Research in Motion's Blackberry device), which company, and indeed, which type of company, will become a market leader still remains to be seen. The consensus is, however, that small local wired phone carriers are going to have a hard time. The report was prepared by Brian Noer, Writer, Editor, and Market Researcher with InvestorIdeas.com.

InvestingInWireless.com's current list of public companies in the sector includes: 3Com Corp., Aegis Assessments, Inc. (OTC BB: AGSI), Ditech Communications Corp., Leap Wireless Int'l Inc., Lightbridge Inc., Lumera Corporation, Motorola, Inc., Nextel Communications Inc., Nokia Corp., Novatel Wireless Inc., Qualcomm Inc., Research In Motion Ltd., Roaming Messenger, Inc. (OTC BB: RMSG), Rogers Wireless Communications Inc., Snocone Systems Inc (OTC BB: SCOS), Verizon Communications, Vodafone Group Plc, and numerous others.

Report Excerpt:

Wireless Data -- The New Killer App?

The telecommunications sector is experiencing a substantial shift in the leading companies, and in the types of companies, that are going head to head to reap the benefits of market share. Wireless technology is evolving at light speed, and industry players are finding that wireless data applications are becoming deal makers or breakers in many business' communications strategies.

At the moment great opportunities exist for many different types of industry participants to stake their market share claims. Wireless carriers, cell phone hardware, and PC hardware manufacturers all have the possibility of dominating the industry. The outcome depends on what type of company will evolve to capitalize on and provide the types of services, service packages, and products, that an increasingly data dependent marketplace requires. In addition, these players will have to take into consideration that the way in which wireless products and services are sold differs greatly from region to region, on a global basis.

Michael Weaver, Managing Director with the Fitch Ratings Telecommunications and Cable Group, predicts a head to head battle between carriers who offer a full portfolio of services packaged in different ways. "Obviously the cable operators have a window of opportunity with their VoIP (Voice over Internet) offering being more widely marketed in the next year in very interesting bundles, featuring both voice and video. The smaller telephone service providers however, will not realistically be in a position to push this type of package until 2006."

"Companies that we favor in the sector," said Fitch's Weaver "would include Verizon Wireless, a blue chip performer that promises strong growth and does offset some of the wire/line pressures that are currently being experienced. We think that Comcast, on the cable side, is a very strong operator that will be a long term competitor and obviously has very good growth prospects, particularly with the introduction of HDTV, digital video recorder functionality, and voice over IP, this year."

Rory Buchalter, analyst with Dominion Bond Rating Services sees tremendous potential for further growth through the increasing introduction of data applications for business users. "We see users, who in the past would not consider wireless for their total communication needs, giving this option a closer look as speeds, services, and features evolve. Companies can now rethink the way they do business because wireless gives them more flexibility."

Going forward, the growth of data applications is essential. Right now in the North American market, as a percentage of revenue, data accounts for about 10% of revenues, but looking ahead perhaps ten years, Buchalter projects that data could work its way up to 50%.
