The best technology is when you are free to do what you want.

Engineers and entrepreneurs are fundamentally dissatisfied with the way the world is and want to make it better. There are so many things you could do with technology if you can match it up with real problems.

There is no reason why T-Mobile can't be successful on its own and the only real reason AT&T would want to own T-Mobile is to increase its exclusivity by owning more spectrum.

Privacy is a thing of the past.

We predicted the concept of a telephone that isn't tied to a wall or a desk. We anticipated that everyone would have a cell phone. We joked that when you're born you would be assigned a cell phone and if you didn't answer you had died.

What's the biggest function of a cell phone? What does a cell phone do for humanity? It makes people more productive.

I never really started to carry a cellular phone until it was small enough so I could put it on my belt and not even feel it was there.

The technology that lets many people use the same radio channel at the same time is called smart antenna technology or adaptive array technology or interference mitigation. This technology uses computer processors to take the signals from multiple antennas at each location and sorts the various signals out so they don't interfere with each other.

I think that wireless has the opportunity to solve a whole bunch of problems, including I believe world poverty.

What else is there in life but to accomplish things and to do things? Sure I like to be on a beach on occasion, I like to ski on occasion, but as long as I have the ability to make a contribution, I am going to keep going.

The first cellular systems didn't become commercially available until 1983. Most of the phones before then were in fact car phones.

If we don't blow ourselves up, this is going to be a really wonderful world.

We thought our vision was right, which was that someday everyone would be walking around carrying phones with them.

My favourite example of good technology is the automobile. I travel all over the world and if I want to drive a car anywhere, I get in and put the key in the ignition, shift out of park and drive. I don't need an instruction manual.

Once you've lived in Del Mar or the San Diego area, why would you want to live anyplace else? It's the neatest place, whether it's the culture or the small-town atmosphere the whole San Diego area has.

I think if you have a big enough wallet you can solve anything but the key is to solve it with the least amount of expenditure.

Good technology is intuitive - the cellphone forces you to become an engineer.

You should not be a slave to your telephone. The technology is there to serve you, not the other way around.

Given a choice, people will demand the freedom to communicate wherever they are, unfettered by the infamous copper wire.

What we did with this mobile telephone was create a revolution. Before the mobile phone existed we were calling a place, now we are calling a person.

We should be focused on how to make people's lives better. That is the purpose of technology.

People are mobile. They move around, and anytime they want to communicate, if you tie them to the wall or the wires, you're restricting them, you're infringing on their freedom.

If you asked me what the most important thing in my life is, it's learning.

Wireless is freedom. It's about being unleashed from the telephone cord and having the ability to be virtually anywhere when you want to be.
