4:59Now PlayingFifty years ago today, Motorola manager Martin Cooper made a phone call to the chief technology officer of telephone giant AT&T from Sixth Avenue in New York. The call was routed to the fixed network via a first mobile communications cell. This was a successful demonstration of cell phone technology. However, it took four more years before the so-called "handover" from cell to cell designed by Motorola worked without complaint. And it wasn't until September 1983 that the first Motorola cell phone received approval from the FCC, the regulatory agency. Today, it is impossible to imagine a world without cell phones.
