  • Abstract
    Disintermediation means the elimination of the middleman or middleprocess as made possible by the continuously evolving technology including automation, the Internet, computing, etc. In this article, the author discussed the possible origin of process of disintermediation (POD) and the probable effect in the future. The IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT) on the other hand, has established an education committee and has been making fundamentals training available through tutorials, workshops, and video courses - aiming not let POD become a destructor of fundamental knowledge for the next generation of engineers.
