- The common usage of PCS around here, NEW BUZZWORD ALERT -> NOMADIC
- SERVICES!, is to establish a single number for each person, allowing
- the intelligence of the network to figure out where to route it to
- (home, macro cellular, micro cellular, etc.) Visionaries also view
- PCS as not simply single phone number, but seemless service as well.
- i.e., voice mail on busy/don't answer, call park and page, plus all
- the services operating uniformly no matter where the customer happens
- to be.
