Week of 3/24- 3/27

OK, we've had a one week to get all the toxins out, it is time to get back on track. Last week I had you read from 3G Marketing on the Internet pages 1-32. That was a good start to the semester, but we are going move away from the book and learn more about the wireless Internet Infrastructure and interesting developments in that area. Plus on Tuesday we will get our midterms back and go over the midterm.
