WiMax: We've seen broadband and Wi-fi. But everyone is waiting for Wimax, which allows wireless broadband access over a large area of up to 50 km. Will the government clear the decks?

3G: The government says it will have 3G auctions in Jan ’09 and telecom companies say they are ready. If so, it's going to be fun as 3G will enable live video telephony and faster video streaming.

GPS: It's getting more exciting here. Now, a slew of mobile phones are coming pre-loaded with city roadmaps. Some are subscription-based, but many are free.

VoIP: With the government finally seeing reason, ’09 could well be Internet telephony's coming-of-age moment. Good news forconsumers.

M-commerce: After an initial push this year, it's going to be a big ’09 for mobile commerce and mobile banking. A lot depends on howlegislation shapes up.
