Please join us on Wednesday March 12 for an exciting SVForum > Mobile Group event:
3 to 4 speakers on the topic – “4G as a Platform”.
In 2014 we have a new strategy and approach to our group. Our macro, strategic point is to be differentiated from all other community meetings in Silicon Valley. Our micro-approach is to have take-away documentation of each actual meeting, distributed to everyone in the group. Are you ready?
We will have new announcements for the next several meetings, so please monitor and join us as we refine a new “360 approach” to making our group relevant to you in the mobile/wireless industries.
Topic:
Paradigm: 4G as a Platform
Description:
Presenting… 4G value-chain technologies and service sector companies on the significance of a 4G – all IP broadband wireless networks.
We’ve entered the new era of wired and wireless communications and it’s time to psychologically, and technologically, develop for this era. Hence the title of our event “4G as a Platform.”
The FCC is listening on Net Neutrality. Zuckerberg’s MWC chat states that Facebook/Internet.org is formally partnering with Mobile Network Operators (MNOs). It is known that WhatsApp app displaces SMS/text messaging and newly offering voice communications. In short, it’s a new world.
Some context for this new paradigm – FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler quote from January 2104: “Our communications networks are transitioning to IP-networks” “The move from the circuit-switched networks of Alexander Graham Bell to the new networks of the Internet Revolution is all around us — with expanded deployment of fiber, with new forms of wireless, with bonded copper and coaxial cable. These transitions — plural — are a solid attributes because IP networks are more efficient, which can enable better products, lower prices, less tariffs and massive benefits for consumers.”
