This deliverable is an insight-based data-rich deliverable (iDRD) that is part of the SOHO, Small, Mid-Sized, and Enterprise Business subscriptions. Discussion analysis and data in this report comes from primary research that was conducted in early 2006. This report takes a look at “preferred vendors” within the wireless market in the US evaluated by size of business according to a survey of 1600+ wireless business decision-makers. Business wireless includes both wireless voice and data services, as well as wireless equipment. Wireless voice includes dial tone related services, where voice calls are delivered over a wireless network. This category includes per-minute charges, base charges in flat-rate plans and for-fee, value-added services related to wireless voice transport, i.e., voice-activated dialing, voicemail, call forwarding, call waiting, and caller ID. Wireless data includes expenditures on for-fee data transport services over a wireless network, even when sessions are terminated on a wireline network. This category includes fixed wireless; satellite broadcast Internet services; wireless Web services and private/proprietary wireless data network services, as well as one-time service-related charges such as equipment set up (not related to applications integration). This category does not include hosting fees for wireless-accessible applications, one-time applications integration or equipment rental. The expert guide for this deliverable is Kneko Burney.
