networks in Europe and Asia. Questions like "when can we expect European
take-up of GPRS?", "what kind of roaming will the standards bodies adopt?",
"what functionality will first-generation terminals provide?", or "how
will GPRS change the basic business practices of GSM operators?" all need
to be answered before implementations proceed. This book helps the wireless
industry gets its arms around the issues with contributions from many of
the pioneering companies in the mobile data industry. It equips professionals
