The Personal Internet - research study

I stumbled across this Report from the Shosteck group today which strongly supports my sense that access to networked services is fast becoming device-independant. Almost all of our current projects involve cross-media design. It's good to see actual research on this trend.

According to a new Shosteck Group, the traditional concepts of Mobile Internet and mobile broadband are based upon incorrect assumptions. They are based on technology interpretations. They imply limited scope and they do not encompass the true integration of personal services over interconnected networks. Personalization and connectivity are the ultimate goals of end users, regardless of technology.

In its newest study, The Shosteck Group reveals that In an increasingly connected world, we are rapidly moving to a situation where services and content are the same irrespective of access mechanism. It is the standardized nature and the reach of the Internet that has made the Internet so successful. It is the lack of standardization and reach that has inhibited the Mobile Internet.
