What do wireless technologies and push technology have in common?
Cnet's news.com has an article entitled "Wireless Web embraces 'Push'" by Ben Charny. The article details how cell phones have embraced push technologies as part of their wireless services.
One way libraries could take advantage of this is if we could figure out a way to offer local community information and book reviews via partnerships with the wireless service providers. The advantage to the wireless service providers would be added value to their customers and possibly the ability to write off part of the cost of helping libraries implement the service as a charitable contribution. Patrons could sign up for the service either through their local library website or when they purchase their wireless services.
