Mobile systems - primarily cellular telephony - have been the
fastest moving telecommunications development to date with a
world-wide customer base that in the ten or so years to April 1996
reached 100 million and continues with a current growth rate of 60%
per annum world-wide. Predictions suggest that the customer base
will exceed 1 billion within the next ten years and that the
saturation level is around 80% of any population. Faced with such
statistics any book such as this can proffer little more than a
snapshot of the activities and developments that are at present
taking place within the mobile world. It can, however, reflect on
some of the underlying principles that support the industry. The
opening chapter offers a vision for the future of mobile
communications - that of more mobile than fixed connections to the
world's telecommunica tions networks - one which, interestingly,
pre-dates the emergence of the information superhighway. The
Internet whose growth of computer networks has, in recent years,
exceeded that of even mobile systems is demanding ever more
bandwidth to support its multimedia applications and access for
people on the move. The communications needs of the next century
customer are the driv ers behind the convergence of computing and
telecommunications networks, the mobile component of which will be
realized as Third Generation Mobile Sys tems (fGMS).
