alt.internet.wireless Accessing the internet via wireless devices.

Many experts are predicting the death of the desktop computer as the leading method of accessing the Internet, saying a variety of wireless handheld devices (such as mobile phones, palm-sized computers and other similar devices) will soon rule the day instead.
