Re: SIM cards - Links to General Information on the Internet

The single most comprehensive, accurate, and up to date overview I have found describing the use of a SIM in mobile wireless telephony was written by Gemplus and is titled, "Rationale For Using Smart Cards In Wireless Services". It is an excellent 16 page document. It is a 547KB Adobe Acrobat .pdf file and is available for download at:

* gemplus.com

[Please Note: In order to obtain the above document from the Gemplus site you must supply Name, Company, Address, & Professional e-mail address, and Gemplus notes "The data you have provided here shall be used to provide you with information from GEMPLUS or our business partners about our products, services or activities". The process is pretty painless but if you would like to avoid it I would be glad to e-mail you a copy if you PM me your e-mail address.]

While nothing else is available on the web that is quite as current or authoritative I have provided some additional links below for additional SIM information.
