Things can fall apart, or threaten to, for many reasons,

"Things can fall apart, or threaten to, for many reasons, and
then there's got to be a leap of faith. Ultimately, when
you're at the edge, you have to go forward or backward; if you
go forward, you have to jump together."

About the Conference

As Mobile technology evolves, tremendous business opportunities will emerge. The growing consensus is that our current cabled, PC-centric computing will soon be replaced by an untethered world of smart phones and tablets providing computing, on the go. The mobile network we all envision will be much more flexible, powerful and easier to use than today's wired Internet, but with the added benefit that people can use it anywhere, anytime, with much greater variety of devices.

Speakers will discuss topics related to the following but not limited:

·         What are the possible Mobile business opportunities in the US, Asia,  Africa and Europe?

·         Who will pay mobile and big data?
