In 1989, GSM responsibility was transferred to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).The phase I of the GSM specifications were published in 1990. The first GSM network was launched in 1991 by Radiolinja in Finland. By the end of 1993, over a million subscribers were using GSM phone networks. The growth of cellular telephone systems started in the early 1980s, particularly in being operated by 70 carriers across 48 countries.
The Global System for Mobile communications (GSM: originally from Group Special Mobile) is the most popular standard for mobile phones in the world. GSM service is used by over 2 billion people across more than 212 countries and territories. The ubiquity of the GSM standard makes international roaming very common between mobile phone operators, enabling subscribers to use their phones in many parts of the world. From the point of view of the consumers, the key advantage of GSM systems has been higher digital voice quality and low cost alternatives to making calls such as the Short Message Service (SMS). The advantage for network operators has been the ability to deploy equipment from different vendors because the open standard allows easy inter-operability. Like other cellular standards GSM allows network operators to offer roaming services which mean subscribers can use their phones all over the world.
GSM is a cellular network, which means that
Trends in the market include the growing number of people within the 15-29 age range. Also, phones are being used for much more than just calling, other functions like texting and music playing capabilities have dominated much of a user’s data usage. As for market characteristics, the mobile industry has reached almost 50% penetration with about 130 million subscribers, and reaching its maturity. The cost structure has been very confusing for consumers, with hidden fees, overcharges, and lacks to reward users who do not use their plans to the max. And finally, channels include all service provider stores and retail consumer stores, for example, Target, Walmart, and Best Buy.
There are many alternatives product such as fax, email, and internet which enhance the bargaining power of buyer to the mobile service provider.
The future of the telecommunication industry is an exciting future. No longer can these companies depend on telephone service plans to maintain profit.

This text critically examines organizational behavior in Pluto Telecommunications through analysis of the relationship among the job design, motivation, structural form and the work culture. The Managing Director of Pluto Telecommunication came to understanding that the three departments within the organization: Sales, Marketing and Customer Service do not communicate with each other which have a direct negative impact on the company’s performance. Further investigations show that the three departments are different in term of what motivates the employees, the time span for achieving the goals, culture established within the departments and the structural forms within the departments.

India is one country which is developing rapidly at the moment along with China (Lal and Clement, 2005). The political, economic, social, cultural, technological and legal climate in India is extremely suitable for international entrepreneurs since business prospects in a country are heavily dependent on the above mentioned parameters. Since India is the second most heavily populated country in the world, British telecommunication company, Vodafone has enormous business opportunities in India. Mobile phone usage in India is increasing rapidly in recent times (Press Information Bureau: Government of India, 2010). A substantial portion of Indian
In addition to telephony, modern mobile phones also support a wide variety of other services such as text messaging, MMS, email, Internet access, short-range wireless communications (infrared, Bluetooth), business applications, gaming and photography. Mobile
The telecommunication industry that AT&T essentially created has undergone radical advancements, particularly within the last decade. According to the IBM Institute for Business Value, approximately 15% of the world’s population had access to a telephone in 1999 but by 2009, 70% of the world’s population had mobile phone subscriptions (Nelson & van den Dam, 2010). Given the extraordinary explosion of mobile computing and wireless communications, continued advancements within the global telecommunication industry are certain. A number of trends drive this evolution including the advancement of devices and network access technology, changes
Boost of Local Markets: In 1996, Americans had access to only single local telephone network but in today’s world, FCC reports that more than 90% of Americans have access to at least 6 different Telecommunication facility providers( telephone company, cable operator, mobile operators).
Directions: Select a topic from the case studies in the text. You may choose any of the topics, except those covered in previous assignments. Examples of topics you might investigate include: using telecommunications to keep in touch with co-workers; telecommunications innovation; managing telecommunications; emerging telecommunications technologies; and so on.
Mobile phones can be seen to only start taking shape in 1996 but when they are introduced they soar above any other form of technology. They end up in 20098 to having 60 handsets per 1000 people which is a huge amount. This is due to the cheap costs that are present and they are affordable to the people which there low wages. Many companies such as Nokia have seen a mobile phone market available in developing countries and they cause a lot more people to get hold of them. The developing countries see how much of a difference they make to life and spread the word and soon a lot of people are in possession. Unlike landlines there is only one satellite dish that is needed and these can be place almost any where meaning they don’t take up a lot of time and money. The running costs are low as usually the spare parts may be made in the developing countries and easy ways of keeping them charged are available such as using the sun. The fact that many people have them makes business easier which attracts more people to have them making them very popular compared to the land line. It is the fact that they are very simple and cheap that there are so many being used in the developing world compared to the internet and land

When there is exchange of information between communication participants includes the use of technology, the Telecommunication occurs. The transmission paths are often divided into various communication channels. The term telecommunication is used in plural forms because it involves many different technologies.
Since the introduction of the first mobile phone in 1924, there has been a steady climb in developing and enhancing, the mobile phone and its supporting technologies. The cellular network infrastructures as well as service providers have been hard at work; in making sure they are providing the best service as well as devices. The infrastructure alone
British Telecom My aim in this investigation is to discuss whether or not British Telecom has successfully grown and developed since its Privatisation to compete on a world scale. In addition to this has it any long-term strategies for future growth and development of products. According to the 1996 Budget Red Book, more than 50 major businesses have been privatised since 1979 and the state owned sector of industry has been reduced be two-thirds.
1. Describe a local land line phone system based on the following Landline Telephone Components.
A mobile phone works on a unique networked system which needs no wiring, no fixation and no botheration. Originally it was used in cars, airlines, and passenger trains but increasingly it is becoming ubiquitous. It is basically low- power radio telephone. In this magical system calls go through radio transmitters that are located within small geographical unit which are known as cells. Since each cell's signals are too weak to interfere with those of other cells operating on the same frequencies and more channels can be used than would be possible with high power radio frequency transmission. Narrow-band frequency modulation (FM) is the most common mode of transmission, each message is assigned a carrier, unique to the cell from which it is transmitted.
