The Universal Wireless Communications Consortium was a professional association of wireless communications companies operating in the Americas. The consortium was founded in 1996. It dissolved in 2001 when its mission of promoting the TDMA protocol was deemed completed. It was succeeded by 3G Americas which aims to do the same for 3G technology.
Famous quotes containing the word universal:
“Commercial jazz, soap opera, pulp fiction, comic strips, the movies set the images, mannerisms, standards, and aims of the urban masses. In one way or another, everyone is equal before these cultural machines; like technology itself, the mass media are nearly universal in their incidence and appeal. They are a kind of common denominator, a kind of scheme for pre-scheduled, mass emotions.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–62)
