Abstract
This chapter looks back our wireless communications R&D history and speculates what will happen “35 years later”, 2050. This intends to show the importance of foreseeing the Real Goal (behind the goal) for coming generations of cellular phone networks in addition to the importance of integration of cellular/mobile spectrum and WLAN/WPAN networks. Furthermore, to be successful in this area, it is important to try “What to do approach”, and “application driven technology development” instead of technology oriented R&Ds.
