Dateline: October 13^th, 1983 – The first commercial cellphone call is made from the parking lot of Soldier Field in Chicago.

I believe it was the immortal Gordon Gekko from the film Wall Street, who proclaimed over his DynaTac phone while walking on the beach, “Let’s get to work.” CEA will be getting to work in the coming weeks and months to promote the 25^th anniversary of that first commercial cellphone call. Stay tuned for more info on events podcasts and other goodies around this momentous event that forever changed how America lives and works.
