The Peculiar Evolution of 3G Wireless Networks: Institutional Logic, Politics, and Property Rights

Shaping the Architecture of the U.S. Information and Communication Technology Architecture: A Political Economic Analysis1

Business and citizen customers are also increasingly adopting wire- (Cowhey, Aronson, and Richards, 2003). Digital wireless offers more advantages than the analog: it can accommodate more users (due to packet switching on channels), has less background noise, has better sound quality, and has more security.…”
