CSPAN talks with Martin Cooper, inventor of the cell phone

Few people know who Martin Cooper is (even in the wireless industry), though his work is easily the most influential in the business.   Cooper invented the cell phone that we know and love (or hate), and made the first call on one in 1973.  What's more, his name is on the "radio telephone system" patent filed in 1973.

In the piece, Cooper spoke about spectrum space and future allocation, and discussed the business changes as a whole.  I won't tell you which phone he's using now (yes, he talks about it in the interview), but it's nice to see that he's keeping up with the industry.
