The reality of the communications market-place is that cost and appearance mean much more to the consumer than the technology inside. Mobile phones sell on their style and talk time, rather than their receiver sensitivity or bit error rate performance.This is an important lesson for engineers to grasp, for although some mobile phones
are indeed much better technically than others, all are simply assumed by the customer to
work properly, and achieving technical excellence may not lead to excellent sales.
