We know that Group Special Mobile become GSM, And somebody in US Military found CDMA in his leisure time...and LTE by some German actress and we know the Bell is the one who started this entire Telephone Concept...

who invented the term PSTN/POTS and what is the reason behind it... ?

Hi!
some links? I would like to learn more...

By german actress you refer to Heddy Lamarr? or this is another story?

for example, frequency hopping is patented by:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedy_Lamarr

it took me years to find http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecstasy_%28film%29 somewhere ...

I would guess PSTN is ITUish, while POTS and POMS were latter added by some authors?
