Abstract
Just as the first century of wireless communication led to nearly universal radio broadcasting, so the second century is certain to provide ubiquitous two-way wireless connectivity by utilizing new digital spread spectrum multiple access technologies coupled with wideband network connectivity, using both terrestrial and satellite resources. The social implications of this rapid evolution can only be vaguely imagined.
