Topic: Let’s Build A Low Earth Orbit Cellular Public Carrier
This presentation will be designed to inform non-communications specialists about the piece-parts which integrate into a working public network which sells a “cellular service” and bills and collects for the services provided. In addition to defining what each piece part is supposed to do, Bob will tell the group how the system fails when something goes awry. One simple example; one leading public carrier built its entire network forgetting to design and build a billing system. Never heard of them? Guess why!

McNamara, Bob engineered the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia communications network from string-and-tincans to one of the most modern in the world. Together working with Wm. G.
