Projections from 1995 of how 2000 will look

Written in 1995, this book projects the development of the wireless industry. It is of great interest today, since it provides much needed perspective on the origins and growth of the wireless industry, and the nature of projections offered today about the next 5-10 years. The author is intellegent and well versed in the wireless industry, and presents a compelling vision of "personal communications". The current (2001) crisis in the telecom industry provides an interesting contrast to his forward looking vision.
