            Cellular/mobile phones are everywhere and their utility is growing. 
              A cell phone is a radio telephone, that may be used wherever "cell" 
              coverage is provided. The role of cellular phones has risen with 
              improvement in services, reduction in service costs and the ever 
              increasing services available through cell phones.  
            With the advent of powerful technologies such as Bluetooth, WAP 
              (Wireless Application Protocol) and 3G (3rd Generation cellular 
              networks) the cell phone provides an access to the Internet. According 
              to The Strategies Group, there will be more than 530 million wireless 
              subscribers by the year 2001. New estimates report that the number 
              of wireless subscribers will break the one billion mark by 2004, 
              and a "substantial portion of the phones sold that year will have 
              multimedia capabilities." These multimedia capabilities include 
              the ability to retrieve e-mail, and provides access to the Internet.
