- The UK Civil Service for their permission to publish this story (Note: one deletion was mutually agreed that did not affect the story line)
- Wiley for permission to re-use some of my originated material on the GSM MoU to be found in their publication GSM AND UMTS – The Creation of Global Mobile Communications. Edited by Fredhelm Hillebrand, 2002
- Jeremy Banks for permission to reproduce his cartoon on Telepoint
- John Carrington for reviewing the pen-ultimate proof and offering some unique insights from BT and C&W
- Thomas Haug, Philippe Dupuis, Armin Silberhorn and Fred Hillebrand for reviewing the final pen-ultimate proof and taking the trouble to provide many comments and suggested changes. I hope that this will lead at least Philippe to write his own memoirs of this period and enrich the public record of this important bit of European history (as he uniquely spanned a long time period at a senior level within the French PTT).
- Ted Beddoes for his suggestion for including the neat comparison table coming out of the GSM Working Party 2 meeting just prior to the critical GSM Madeira meeting
- Alain Maloberti for this insight on the GSM “modulation” issue after the GSM Madeira meeting.
- David Hendon for his encouragement to publish this account as a public record
