Abstract
As the Internet is growing in the number of users and complexity year after year, it is more and more difficult to have an overall picture of an end to end communication between two entities across the net. The introduction of General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), a mobile network, will introduce new possibilities but new complexity as well.
This thesis provides an overview of the relationship between the main entities: user, GPRS network operator, Internet Service Provider (ISP) and content provider. It tries to define all the possible scenarios for packet switching communication where GPRS is involved, analyzing who are the different actors and what role they play.
It will also draw a comparison between these new scenarios that will be introduced with GPRS networks and the traditional wireline ones. In particular, it will point out if any of the services today accessible will not be available for the GPRS users or, instead, if the GPRS operators will be able to introduce completely new services for their customers.
