Pagers
Article Abstract:
Pagers are becoming smaller and are sending out stronger signals. Although pagers have not created much consumer interest yet, retailers believe they will become strong consumer items in the future. Subscription services are as important as the pagers and many large common carriers have had great increases in business since the FCC doubled the number of radio paging frequencies in 1983. Prices are expected to drop as the number of units in use increases. Among new pagers available are small units weighing as little as two ounces and alpha numeric pagers with the capacity to receive and display messages.
