This ‘study of wireless ecosystems and regional communication discourse of Asia-Pacific’ is not a book on technology. It is about the direct and indirect impact of the growth of wireless/mobile in the region. Nearly 36% of mobile phones of the world were in Asia in 2002, and the figure is likely to cross 50% by 2007. Seven of the ten most profitable wireless operators today are from Asia. Asia is indeed ‘at the cutting edge of wireless information society’. The book under review documents the rapidly expanding and changing mobile/wireless Asian market by bringing together 21 experts from the Asia-Pacific region to look at different aspects of the subject (T. C. A. Srinivas Raghavan, in a review of the book pointed out that this ‘very speed is an enemy of a book like this’, as it is likely to be outdated rapidly).
