"For the first time, it will be possible for these companies
to use mobile handsets to send and receive emails and operate
an electronic diary working directly into a corporate server
in real-time."
Qadri noted that the global mobile data market has a 75 per
cent compound annual growth rate and is expected to be worth
over $80 billion by 2005.
The latest trial follows successful internal tests by BT and
Microsoft, and is being conducted to assess the market and
gather feedback on how customers will actually use mobile data
services. The two companies say they are planning a "sizeable
commercial deployment" early next year.
