The Telecommunications Act of 1996 ignited a revolution in the wireless communications industry. Similar to the hammers and chisels that brought down the Berlin Wall, the 1996 Act tore down the barriers to competition and opened the floodgates to new technology and services. No longer is  wireless just competing with wireless; it is now taking on the wireline world. People no longer have to be tied down by landline phones. Cellular is now converging with the Internet (IP), Cable and other industries to create a seamless network of Wireless Communications Services linking businesses, families and nations.
During the past twenty years we have witnessed the transformation of the paging industry from a provider of "beeper" services to a provider of advanced messaging services, delivering news, weather, sports information and stock quotes. Now, two-way paging is revolutionizing the way people communicate. The launch of the first digital cellular systems in the United States demonstrated that even the most optimistic wireless penetration projections are conservative when compared to the actual numbers. It was to support this rapid growth that ICON Corporation was formed to service the demand for engineering skills and abilities related to the Infrastructure Development of Second generation (2G) Personal Communication Services (PCS). ICON Wireless was formed to focus specifically on Third Generation (3G) and Fourth Generation (4G) Networks.
In January of 2005, ICON Wireless initiated its first Private Placement with purpose of raising capital to fund ICON engineering contracts. After just one year of investing, ICON paid its investors an ROI of 25%. Going forward, we predict tremendous growth in the Wireless marketplace well into the 21st century. With the spotlight continuing to shine on global communications via new technologies like 3G and 4G, companies that wish to remain competitive must address both domestic and international market needs.
