* IDC PREDICTS GROWTH FOR WIRELESS ASPS, VENDOR NOT CONVINCED
If the ASP model is still considered relatively young, then wireless 
ASPs must be considered newborns. Despite the relative infancy of 
this segment of the ASP industry, however, International Data Corp. 
(Framingham, Mass.) paints it a bright future. ResQNet.com (New York, 
a wireless ISV, has closely monitored the ASP and wireless ASP 
markets, but has chosen to stay away for the time being.

* TECHNOLOGY CHOICES FOR ASPS
The phenomenal growth of the Internet in the latter part of the 1990s 
will lead to a fundamental shift in the information technology industry
in this decade -- the delivery of software as a service instead of a 
packaged product. No questions linger as to whether application hosting
will catch on, but questions abound as to how the service will be 
delivered. To deliver their potential, ASPs need new tools -- both in 
the form of hardware and software.
