Synopsis

With its GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) standard, Europe has played a vital role in the trend of up to 25 percent ownership of mobile phones in some countries (e.g. Sweden). Per Bekkers and Smits (both with Eindhoven U. of Technology, the Netherlands), the unpredictability of the success of the burgeoning new networks and services is inversely related to the need for regulation/standardization. They discuss GSM and other standards, telecommunications' history and forms, European policies, cellular and cordless telephony, personal satellite communications, application areas, and system selection and implementation. Includes graphics, suggested readings, and "translations"of acronyms. Translated from Mobiele Telecommunicatie in Nederland en Belgie Regulering, standaarden en toepassingen (1977). Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
