%X The increasing availability of tri\-band mobile devices with
   mobile phone, wi\-fi and Bluetooth capability means that the
   opportunities for increased access by mobile devices to
   services provided within a smaller locality becomes
   feasible. This increase in availability might, however, be
   tempered by users switching off their devices as they are
   overloaded with a multitude of messages from a variety of
   sources. A wide range of opportunities can be realised if we
   can provide a managed environment in which people can access
   wireless services specific to a particular physical site or
   location in a ubiquitous manner, independent of the service,
   and they can also choose from which services they are
   willing to receive messages. These opportunities range from
   retail promotions as a person walks down the street, to
   shopper specific offers as people enter stores that utilise
   reward card systems, to information about bus arrivals at a
   bus stop, additional curatorial information within a museum
   and access to health records within a hospital environment.
   The CPA paradigm offers a real opportunity to provide such
   capability with mobile processes, rather than the current
   approach that, typically, gives users access to web pages.
