Introduction to the new Editor-in-Chief

It is my great privilege to take the reigns of IEEE Communications Magazine. Allow me to introduce myself by first commenting on my own relationship to the magazine, which has been my favorite publication throughout my career. I became a Communications Society member 27 years ago when I joined GTE Lenkurt out of graduate school. Since then I have worked in research, product development, and standards for telecommunications systems and devices. Over the years, I have also subscribed to a number of other IEEE journals and magazines, as well as magazines outside the IEEE. Communications Magazine is the one publication that I have valued enough to read consistently.
