Inhaltsangabe:Problemstellung: Die steigende Mobilität der Gesellschaft und das Bedürfnis nach Kommunikation sind sicherlich die entscheidenden ?DRIVING FORCES? für den Handyboom in den letzten Jahren. Seit der Einführung des GSM-Netzes in Deutschland ist die Anzahl der Mobilfunknutzer von rundeiner Million 1992 auf mehr als 35 Millionen im Jahr 2000 explodiert. Diese rasante Entwicklung sorgte für eine boomende Branche, die seit Anfang 2000 durch ein neues Zauberwort in die Schlagzeilen geraten ist: UMTS. Die Versteigerung der UMTS-Mobilfunklizenzen bringen nicht nur unerwarteten Geldsegen in die Kassen der europäischen Finanzminister, sondern sie beflügeln auch die Fantasie der Mobilfunkbranche wie die ?mobile Zukunft? aussehen könnte. Das bestehende Mobilfunknetz wurde für die Übertragung von Sprache konzipiert und folgerichtig auch nur zu diesem Zweck genutzt. Heute sind jedoch nicht mehr nur Sprachdienste von Interesse. Mit einer voranschreitenden Mobilität in der Arbeitswelt ist es für viele Mitarbeiter bedeutend, unabhängig von der technischen Infrastruktur ihrer aktuellen Umgebung, mit ihren Unternehmen kommunizieren zu können. Kommunikation heißt hier nicht nur verbal, sondern auch der mobile Zugang auf Daten und Informationen aller Art. Um diesem Trend Rechnung zu tragen, wurde 1999 der so genannte WAP Standard eingeführt. Der Hauptgrund für die bis jetzt geringe Nutzung des Mobilfunks für die Datenübertragung, sowohl bei gewerblichen als auch privaten Nutzern, ist die mangelnde Bandbreite, die der GSM-Standard bietet. Dieser Mangel soll durch Übertragungstechniken, die zwischen dem vierten Quartal 2000 und 2002 in Deutschland eingeführt werden sollen, behoben werden. Mit der Möglichkeit der Datenübertragung ist eine direkte Verbindung vom Handy zu der vollen Vielfalt des Internet geboten. Hierdurch verändert sich die bisher sehr einfach strukturierte Wertschöpfungskette der Netzbetreiber - es entstehen neue Geschäftsmodelle und Geschäftsmöglichkeiten. Doch nicht nur neue Übertragungstechniken in den Mobilfunknetzen, sondern auch zahlreiche weitere Neuerungen im Bereich der Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien versprechen neue Möglichkeiten für Produkte und Dienstleitungen. Diese neuen Möglichkeiten müssen jedoch durch enorme Investitionen für Übertragungstechniken in die Mobilfunkinfrastruktur erkauft werden. So gesehen sind diese möglichen neuen Einsatzgebiete Chance und Risiko zugleich, da heute noch keinesfalls gewiss ist, [¿]
