Abstract
Since the beginnings of telecommunication technology 100 years ago, we have witnessed a number of major shifts in the application of communications technologies to the needs of our society and industry. In that process, we have seen the marriage of wireline and wireless technologies, of analog and digital technologies, of voice, data, video, image, fax, streaming media and graphics to create a computer-communications infrastructure that spans the globe and serves billions of people. The Internet is the current manifestation of these developments and has penetrated every structure of our society.
