Personal communications. PCN implementation in the UK

In 1989, the UK Department of Trade and Industry, published a consultative document entitled Phones on the move, which embodied a vision of a new kind of telephone service available through the use of a single personal handset connected to a network by radio. Also in 1989, licenses for personal communication networks (PCN) were awarded to three consortia: Unitel, Mercury and Microtel. The author looks at the implementation of PCN in the UK and the standards that they will have to comply to.<
