Talk:Mobile telecommunications

Copyedit needed
The article is not in an encyclopedic style.

The definition given would include smoke signals, hooters, flagwagging and much else. The "sentence" beginning "Cellular communications .." has no verb. Perfect past tenses should be simple pasts. Coherency seems not an attribute of the article. And so on. Almost fit to require deletion.--SilasW (talk) 17:01, 10 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Mobile telecommunications does include smoke signals (optical), hooters(I'm assuming this is something acoustical), and flagwagging (flagwaving? so optical). Unless you can clearly articulate why mobile telecommunications shouldn't include those forms of transmission/reception (with legit citations), I don't see what the problem is. IEEE 100 dictionary defines "mobile communication system" as "Combinations of interrelated devices capable of transmitting intelligence between two or more spatially separated stations, one or more of which shall be mobile".  "Telecommunication", as defined by IEEE 100 dictionary, is "the transmission of signals by electrical, electromagnetic, optical, acoustic, or mechanical means."  Therefore, I'd say the definition in the wiki article is pretty accurate. Mojodaddy (talk) 19:22, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Redirect
This article doesn't contain any information that isn't in mobile telephony and that article contains an awful lot more. I propose to redirect this article to that one since they are essentialy the same topic. There doesn't seem to be any value in maintaining two articles unless someone can point out why two need to be maintained.
