The SIM Business explores the evolving role of the SIM in the telecommunications sector. From the origins of the "smart card" as a security component within the GSM standard, the authors set out to demonstrate how this has become a billion-selling device and looks to its unlimited future potential as a linking technology that will interconnect every type of global industry. The authors draw on their own extensive experience in the field to provide a solid, technical framework that explains the nature of SIM architectures and infrastructures. Prominence is given to the evolution of SIM technology, including its potential to become a linking technology between different market sectors, from IT and financial services, to government administration and beyond.
