Telecom Wrapup — Key Events of 2006

As pundits are thinking about their predictions for 2007, I thought it might be useful to look back on 2006, focusing on items that may not have gotten the coverage — or the perspective — they deserve.

My picks:

1. Death of traditional fixed-line telephony - a turning point
   
2. Dual mode (mobile & WiFi) phones off to a very slow start
3. Some positive results from the U.S. AWS spectrum auctions
4. Questioning the value of Calling Party Pays (CPP) regulation
5. China’s 3G licensing delay obscures interesting VAS developments
6. AdvancedTCA finally gets production momentum

The complete explanations are in my article just published in the NMS Telecom Innovators News.
