T-Mobile is a group of mobile phone corporate subsidiaries (all under the ownership of Deutsche Telekom) that operate GSM and UMTS networks in Europe and the United States. The "T" stands for "Telekom" and "Team." Most subsidiaries of Deutsche Telekom have names beginning with "T-". T-Mobile also has financial stakes in mobile operators in Eastern Europe. Globally, T-Mobile has 101 million subscribers, making it the world's sixth largest mobile phone service provider by subscribers and the third largest multinational after the United Kingdom's Vodafone and Spain's Telefonica.
T-Mobile International has a substantial presence in eleven European countries: Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, the Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia and the United Kingdom as well as in the United States.
Deutsche Telekom recently attempted to acquire rival mobile network operator O2, but it was eventually acquired by Spain's Telefonica.
As well as kit sponsors for FC Bayern Munich, Ferencvárosi TC, The Blues City and West Bromwich Albion, T-Mobile is also a sponsor of several sports events, some of which carry the company name. For example, it sponsors its own cycling team, the T-Mobile Team, and the Austrian first division football competition, the T-Mobile Bundesliga.

T9
T9, which stands for Text on 9 keys, is a predictive text technology for mobile phones, developed by Tegic Communications. It is used on phones from LG, Samsung, Nokia, Siemens, Sony Ericsson, Sanyo, Sagem and others. Its main competitors are iTap, created by Motorola, and LetterWise, created by Eatoni.
T9's objective is to make it easier to type text messages on small mobile devices. The technology allows words to be entered by a single keypress for each letter, as opposed to the approach used in the older generation of mobile phones in which several letters are associated with each key, and selecting one letter often requires multiple keypresses.
The software combines the groups of letters found on each phone key with a fast-access dictionary of words. It looks up all the possible words corresponding to the sequence of keypresses in the dictionary.
As the predictive software gains familiarity with the words and phrases the user commonly uses, it speeds the process by offering the most frequently used words first and then lets the user access other choices with one or more presses of a predefined NEXT key.
The Tegic Communications website offers training tools and web games such as this crossword puzzle [1] that are designed to help users become proficient with this interface.
The dictionary can be expanded by adding missing words, enabling software to recognize them in the future. After introducing a new word, the next time the user tries to produce that word T9 will add it to the predictive dictionary.
TDMA
Time division multiple access (TDMA) is a channel access method for shared medium (usually radio) networks. It allows several users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the signal into different timeslots. The users transmit in rapid succession, one after the other, each using his own timeslot. This allows multiple stations to share the same transmission medium (e.g. radio frequency channel) while using only the part of its bandwidth they require. TDMA is used in the digital 2G cellular systems such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), IS-136, Personal Digital Cellular (PDC) and iDEN, and in the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) standard for portable phones. It is also used extensively in satellite systems, and combat-net radio systems.
Telecommunication
Telecommunication is the transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose of communication. In modern times, this process typically involves the sending of electromagnetic waves by electronic transmitters but, in earlier years, it may have involved the use of smoke signals, drums or semaphore. Today, telecommunication is widespread and devices that assist the process, such as the television, radio and telephone, are common in many parts of the world. There are also many networks that connect these devices, including computer networks, public telephone networks, radio networks and television networks. Computer communication across the Internet is one of many examples of telecommunication.
Telecommunication systems are generally designed by telecommunication engineers. Telecommunication is an important part of the world economy; the telecommunication industry's revenue has been placed at just under 3% of the gross world product.
Telecommunications Industry Association
The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) is a trade association in the US that represents about 600 telecommunications companies.
TIA represents providers of information, communications and entertainment technology products and services for the global marketplace through its core competencies in standards development, domestic and international policy advocacy, and facilitating member business opportunities. The association supports the convergence of new communications networks while working for a competitive and innovative market environment.
TIA is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to develop voluntary industry standards for a wide variety of telecommunications products. TIA's Standards and Technology Department is composed of five divisions which sponsor more than 70 standards formulating groups. The committees and subcommittees sponsored by the five divisions (Fiber Optics, User Premises Equipment, Wireless Communications, Communications Research and Satellite Communications) formulate standards to serve the industry and users.
Within TIA, more than 1,100 individuals, with representatives from manufacturers, service providers and end-users, including the government, serve on the formulating groups involved in standards setting. To ensure representation for the positions of U.S. telecommunications equipment producers in the international arena, TIA also participates in international standards-setting activities, such as the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the Inter-American Telecommunication Commission (CITEL) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
While better known for its activities in long-haul and wireless applications, TIA also addresses the needs of communications networks in premises applications. In 1993, TIA founded the Fiber Optics LAN Section (FOLS) which provides information on the use of fiber optic technology in local area networks (LANs).
The TIA coproduces NXTcomm, one of the largest trade shows for the telecommunications industry. It replaces TIA's GLOBALCOMM (formerly SUPERCOMM) and TelecomNext.

Touchscreen
Touchscreens, touch screens, touch panels or touchscreen panels are display overlays which have the ability to display and receive information on the same screen. The effect of such overlays allows a display to be used as an input device, removing the keyboard and/or the mouse as the primary input device for interacting with the display's content. Such displays can be attached to computers or, as terminals, to networks. Touchscreens also have assisted in recent changes in the PDA and Cell-Phone Industries, making these devices more usable.
