From the Paper:
"In 1994, the FCC declared it was allocating spectrum specifically for PCS technologies at the 1,900 MHz band. These new digital wireless standards are currently still being used in PCS. With these technological advances, the marketing of cell phones shifted from high volume business users who were largely unconcerned with cost to the general public who was cost conscious and lobbied for a higher quality of service and more features. In 2001, Ericsson launched its color-screened T69 in Europe; by 2002, Sprint PCS, Motorola, Nextel, and other major cell phone manufacturers released their own versions of color-screen cell phones among much fanfare.
