Joel West’s
|
Joel’s research on wireless communications considers both adoption and production strategies by firms, as well as policies to promote and support adoption and use. See also his more general work on ICT standards and the San Diego Wireless Valley project. He also comments on Qualcomm and other San Diego firms at his SD Telecom blog. and on mobile phone related issues (such as Android and the iPhone) on his Open IT Strategies blog.
He has done research for a (as yet uncompleted) book on the origins of the San Diego telecommunications industry, tentatively entitled Digitizing Communications: From MIT to Qualcomm.
