GSM created the mobile phone revolution. Its scale economies and open standard transformed mobile radio from professional electronics (high prices, low volumes and moderate pace of innovation) to consumer electronics (high volumes, low prices, very fast pace of innovation). The outcome has changed more lives on the planet than any other electronic development of the past 25 years.

Yet few people know who created GSM? I set up WWW.GSMHistory.Com to put on the public record who created GSM, how it was created and copies of some of the most important documents. There is also on this site an alternative history of mobile radio as seen through 20 years of dazzling innovation of mobile phones themselves…the results of several years of research.
