No Wires Means New Rules
New technologies are changing
digital/interactive advertising opportunities:
• WiFi became popular in 2004 because it provided
wireless Internet access connections reaching out
about 300 feet.
• WiMax is similar to WiFi in that both create wireless
“hot spots” but iMax has a range of 25-30 miles!
• Mi-Fi is similar to WiMax but adds the capability of
accessing the Internet while the user is moving in a
car or a train.
• Ultrabroadband is a technology that will allow
people to move extremely large files quickly over
short distances.
• Technology now provides the option for podcasting,
tablet, and smartphone advertising—but will
consumers accept the intrusion?
