The new media are changing many jobs. Some of them are no longer necessary. People, working in these branches have to cope with the changes and have to change themselves. The education system has to consider these facts, concerning the content and the method of learning. Technological preconditions for telelearning are already given for a long time, but could not be realized because of financial resources. Liberalization and privatization of telecommunications brought lower prices. Nowadays, the media telephone can used by every inhabitant. The trend goes toward mobile phone. Within the next years a combination of internet and mobile phones is expected due to the increase of larger broadbands in the field of mobile networks. UMTS is a data service running via telephone networks. Data and voice are equally transmitted. A study at the Donau-University during the course "Telematik Management" tested this situation under consideration of the expected developments. The Donau-University was founded in 1995 as a postgraduate education facility with five institutes. The institute of "Telecommunications, Information and Media" started at the 1st of April, 1996. The development of information and communications networks brought a national and international initiative along. "Telecommunications", "Information" and "Media" need a common institutional sight. Knowledge as a product can be realized with the latest telecommunications technologies. In winter 2000/01 the first "Notebook-class" started after some tests in summer. Every student received a laptop-computer at the University for the duration of the course. The Wireless LAN gives a netperformance of 5 MB.
