Abstract :
Moore´s Law has proven a remarkably useful rule of thumb in the semiconductor industry. But technological progress in industries that rely on partly analogue technology - such as the mobile phone industry - obeys different laws. Digital technology is about information storage and processing: Moore´s Law reflects the ability to reduce the amount of energy (electrons) needed to store and read a single bit. Radio technology is about the transport of information. The reasons why Moore´s Law is not applicable to analogue technology are discussed. Mobiel phones use analogue technology, which is different to the digital technology described by Moore´s Law
