| Article abstract: |
| For many decades there were few true innovations in the telecommunications industry, but the arrival of Internet-based (IP) communications changed the sector dramatically. IP has made inexpensive, when not free, voice, data and video a common service throughout the world. Wireless, both fixed and mobile, and the quick and inexpensive rollout it makes possible, is bringing IP-based, multimedia communications to the remotest regions of the world and making available life-changing, life-saving applications such as medicine at a distance and distance learning. |
