This work covers early implementation, from the association set up to promoting GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) deployment worldwide. It answers questions like what kind of roaming will the standards bodies adopt? , what functionality will GPRS terminals provide? , and how will GPRS change the basic business practices of GSM operators? A useful work for providers, operators, and developers, it explains the wireless data business cycle by unpacking technology, markets, and implementation experience and operations issues.
