Wireless communications and personal freedom

Phillip L. Spector

Telecommunications Policy, 1993, vol. 17, issue 6, 403-406

Abstract: Through a wide variety of overlapping approaches -- PCS, CT-2, wireless LANs, mobile data, mobile satellites-- innovative companies are promising to integrate wireless data and voice communications over seamless networks. 'Old' technologies, such as cellular and paging, are being used in new ways (for example, for information and data services), and the technologies today under development (particularly PCS and mobile satellites) suggest a future in which constraints of time and place will become essentially irrelevant to communications. Despite fears of invasion of privacy in this new wireless era, in fact these technologies should be liberating, freeing users to communicate with anyone, from anywhere, at any time.
