The last few years saw the popular adoption of iphone
in the marketplace and now Android devices are making a
strong push in the marketplace. Every major device
vendor has their "app store" to promote the
applications, while some carriers are finding technical
bottlenecks support existing traffic. In the midst of
all these, 4G (LTE) implementations are starting as
well. This begs the question : Where's the mobile data
market headed? What kind of devices and networks can we
expect to see? What kind of applications can the
consumer expect? With subscriber stats reaching
saturation, where's the growth?.... Who better than one
of world's leading mobile company executives to answer
this question.
Join Terry Kramer, President of Vodafone Americas and
one of the visionaries in the wireless industry at our
next TechCoire meeting on March 25th as he shares his
insights into the years ahead.
