Manouchehr Goudarzi, in conversation with MOBNA, stressed future generations of telecommunication should be viewed strategically, needing greater research and, of course, more funds.
He emphasized that country’s mobile phone 3.5G technology would not succeed without the assistance from its experts.
He compared the technology’s multiple application, which supports data transfer, with that of 2G, supporting VOICE networks only, and indicated further research is required prior to its entry into the country.
