Description:

Electrical Engineering Future Talk: The Changing Wireless Game Wireless personal communications represents the fastest-growing segment of the global telecommunications market. Today, 20 cents out of every dollar in revenue for telecommunications providers comes from wireless communications. By the year 2008, that figure is expected to quadruple.

Well-organized and easy-to-follow, Future Talk is a must for readers at every level—from engineers and scientists to managers, marketing and sales professionals, students, and technicians across industries. Key features include:

• Listing of virtually every major cellular installation in the world
• U.S. PCS broadband and narrowband licensees roster
• Directory of more than 500 international wireless hardware, software, and service companies, trade associations, and regulatory agencies, with their addresses and phone numbers
