Acerca de este audiolibro
The computer age is over. After a global run of thirty years, it has given birth to the age of the telecosm—the world enabled and defined by new communications technology.

Bandwidth is exploding, and its abundance is the most important social and economic fact of our time.

He foresaw the power of fiber optics and wireless networks, the decline of the telephone regime, and the explosion of handheld computers; now, he brings you the bible of the new age of communications.
