NOTAS: | "International mobile communications consultant Garrard has been associated with the industry since the 1960s, when he helped pioneer its techniques. He provides a overview--aiming to bridge the marketing and engineering domains--of this burgeoning industry from the radio BC (before cellular) era; through the cellular pioneers, to the European monopolies, 1985-91, and other continental/UK markets, service providers, standards, and competition; to digital developments and other mobile services in the US and the rest of the contemporary cellular world (quadrupling to over 100 million subscribers from 1993-1996). Future trends are also explored." |
