RE: [mobile-society] good history of mobile comm article?
Additional information sources beyond the ones already mentioned http://connectedlife.gsma.com/http://www.gsmworld.com/ http://www.umts-forum.org/component/option,com_docman/task,cat_view/gid,446/Itemid,213/ (see nos 26 and 34) http://www.theiet.org/resources/library/history/ Alex Taylor and Jane Vincent (2005) An SMS history in Lynne Hamill and Amparo Lasen (eds.) Mobile World Past Present and Future Springer London pp 75-92 and for more details from the men who lead the design of SMS: Friedhelm Hillebrand (ed) Fin Trosby, Kevin Holley and Ian Harris contributors (2010) Short Message Service The Creation of global text messaging Wiley Chichester (Fin Trosby also has a good article on SMS in Telektronik) It was interesting when Jonathan Agar presented his book at the Institute of Engineering Technology IET (c2003) that when some of the audience (who'd created/delivered mobile communications) said yes, but you've missed out some really important stuff ... he replied by saying that as an historian he can only write about what has already been recorded and there wasn't that much to go on. As Rich says, thanks for the thread. I don't have a short Wired type of article to offer although I'm working to fill some of the gaps that are still remaining with some articles on mobile communications history - and mobile phones in particular. If this thread prompts any unanswered questions I'd be interested to know what they are, do get in touch.

Dear Katy Here is a chapter from a mobile phone textbook I wrote with Nicola Green which draws on Agar and others but tries to be more reflective on what counts as a history.

I was worried that Agar was too long, but I agree - it is the best out there. I might have to stretch it out to 2 classes or something. Thanks!! Katy On Aug 15, 2012 12:05 PM, Lee M.

I've attached the syllabus here for my mobile comm class. It's from 2010 so it's kind of outdated at this point, but I thought it might be helpful.

[mobile-society] Directory of Mobile Phone numbers - UK mobile phone users want to be ex-directory
In the UK many like to be ex-directory on their fixed phones but it seems that for mobile phones keeping control of who has our mobile phone number is even more important - see the story via the BBC link below. I recall that having a directory of mobile phone numbers was a licence condition for some GSM network operators but I am not certain it was ever implemented. It would be interesting to know if the same emotional response to having your mobile phone number published in a directory has happened elsewhere -t see the link below. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/technology/2009/07/118800_and_a_web_revolution.html extract from email being forwarded all around the UK: Maybe you have heard about this but early next week all UK mobiles will be on a directory which will mean that anyone will be able to access the numbers. It is easy to unsubscribe but it must be done before the beginning of next week to make sure that you are ex directory. We have all unsubscribed and you may want to suggest it to all your friends and family who have UK mobiles or they could be swamped by unsolicited messages and calls. Removal is recommended by the BBC - see link below. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/working_lunch/8091621.stm The Directory of Mobile Phone numbers goes live next week Jane Vincent DWRC University of Surrey www.dwrc.surrey.ac.uk --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups mobile-society group.
