A Summary of this journal

This journal explores the impact of wireless telecommunications on emerging economies. The main objective is focusing on developing countries, and specifically focuses on the progress made by China and comparing with the progress on the United States.

The methods this journal resource takes is anaylzing China's potential for moving past other developing and developed countries with its established and traditional architectures. As the authors say, these are significant because these causes barriers to China because of its lack of traditional fixed-line telecommunications architecture infrastructure.

The authors conclude that despite those lack of technology infrastructure, China was able to "leapfrog" (according to the authors words) to developed countries like the US with its widespread in wireless technologies.
