MAKING MOBILE MULTIMEDIA A REALITY With mobile communications and the Internet coming ever closer together, the world is quickly evolving towards the Mobile Information Society. In the very near future, most personal communications - phone calls, images and multimedia messaging - will be mobile. Did you know that estimates suggest that the milestone of one billion people in the world using a mobile phone will be reached by the end of year 2002? It is expected that 2000 10-15% of all mobile phone

MOBILE INTERNET 3G migration to high-speed, packet-based data creates the conditions for the mobile and Internet worlds to converge, providing mobile users with new opportunities to access Internet-based services and applications. This in turn will stimulate demand for high data rate connectivity as well as helping reduce subscriber management costs. Making Internet accessible through mobile devices opens a huge new business opportunity. But because much of this information is freely available,

1-3 1G 1st Generation Mobile Telecommunications. First generation systems are analog and were designed for voice transfer. AMPS, NMT, TACS, etc are included among first generation systems. With the recent proliferation of PDC/PHS in Japan, post-analog technology has advanced rapidly and consequently only a very few analog systems remain in existence. 2G 2nd Generation Mobile Telecommunications. Second generation systems are digital and are capable of providing voice/data/fax transfer as well as

C-D CIF Common Intermediate Format. CIF is a video image format using 352 horizontal pixels and 288 vertical lines. The format is adopted in multimedia communication standards. CIRCUIT SWITCHED SERVICE This is a data transfer communication service which (as in the case of standard telephone service) applies circuitswitching for each call to establish a circuit with the other party and then disconnect that circuit upon call completion. However, circuit-switched services are losing their relevance

I IMAP4 Internet Messaging Access Protocol. IMAP is a remote mailbox access protocol. It enables efficient operation such as downloading only essential data by first acquisitioning the e-mail header prior to actual e-mail download. This feature makes the protocol well suited to remote environments. I-MODE i-mode is a wireless service launched in Japan in spring 1999 by NTT DoCoMo. The service is accessed by a wireless packet network (PDC-P) and the contents are described in a subset of the HTML

I IP Internet Protocol. A communication protocol commonly utilised by communication hardware comprising the Internet IPV6 Internet Protocol version 6. lPv6 is the latest IP version. Address exhaustion is prevented by means of a long address field, thereby enabling further Internet expansion. In addition, security and mobility are built into the protocol. Currently utilised IP addresses are almost all 1Pv4, and with the present rate of Internet growth this type of address will be exhausted by 201
