`The new two—way system is still being
`perfected and could run into transmission
`glitches. Paging companies must also
`erect entirely separate multimillion'dollar
`transmission systems to run the new serv+
`Ices. And even it the systems work. the
`paging networks will be challenged by

`More likely, though, two-way technol-
`ogy will find a niche. And consumers can
`expect a blitz from numerous high-tech
`giants. Hewlett-Packard Co. and Apple
`Computer Inc. have struck alliances with
`paging companies to make their computers
`work with the new two-way paging net-
`works.
`Mtel plans to offer software that lets
`users of almost any desktop or Hewlett-
`Packard palmtop computer send paging
`messages. Another new product, Motorola
