Enter the age of Internet browsing on the cell phone. “Queen of the Net” Internet analyst Mary Meeker makes a few predictions about the way of the mobile phone. GigaOM reports:

The Morgan Stanley analyst says that the world is currently in the midst of the fifth major technology cycle of the past half a century. The previous four were the mainframe era of the 1950s and 60s, the mini-computer era of the 1970s and the desktop Internet era of the 80s. The current cycle is the era of the mobile Internet, she says — predicting that within the next five years “more users will connect to the Internet over mobile devices than desktop PCs.” As she puts it on one of the slides in the report: “Rapid Ramp of Mobile Internet Usage Will be a Boon to Consumers and Some Companies Will Likely Win Big (Potentially Very Big) While Many Will Wonder What Just Happened.”

Unfortunately, cell phone providers will bear the burden of supporting the demand of Internet on mobile phones. Besides better networks, the number of people who can access the networks will also increase. Vodaphone wants people in developing countries to have access to web browsers on the phone.
