Feed Description: My online notebook with thoughts, comments, links and more.
I got a "blogger's invite" to the Always On Innovation Summit hosted down at Stanford in a couple weeks. This the one upcoming conference that I gave a semi-thumbs up on because it had speakers from the telecommunications industry: Qualcomm (Dr. Jacobs), Nokia, AT&T Wireless and (believe it or not) NextWave. (All I really know about NextWave is that they're the bankrupted 3G startup that's been blocking 3G rollout in the U.S. for the past several years as they battle with the FCC and Congress).
Someone at AO has been reading my weblog no doubt, and have changed the one mobile-oriented session title from "Wireless War: What Technologies Will Win?" to "The Wireless Boom". Nice, (did they think we'd notice?). They obviously meant "The mBoom", but maybe the title will change again by the time the session starts in a couple weeks. ;-) They probably didn't want to tread to hard on Sky's doomed business model..
The Wireless Boom
Moderator: Andrew M. Seybold, President, Outlook 4Mobility
Panelists:
Paul Chellgren, SVP, Product Management and Business Development, Nokia
Sky Dayton, Founder & CEO, Boingo Wireless
Dr. Paul Jacobs, EVP & President, Wireless & Internet Group, QUALCOMM
Roderick Nelson, CTO, AT&T Wireless Services
Anyways, this should be an interesting session, thank god it's not at 8 in the morning like some of the other ones. The rest of the sessions don't particularly excite me, nor have much to do with Innovation, I mean, "Will Web Services Take Over the Software Industry?" wasn't that the cutting edge topic from 2001?
