In the mid-1990s, when we rapidly growing out telecom business with Nokia and other companies, Tim Hannemann had me meet several times in Century City with Dr. Ramo. I was quite impressed as I had used his textbook “Fields and Waves” (by Ramo and Whinnery) in my EE classes in the 1960s. Dr Ramo followed the emerging telecom business very closely and always admonished us to partner with the company with a long term strategy, not a company trying to get rich quick from the telecom buzz.
