4G Summit would have been a funnier name for the "Path to 4G Conference", as a wordplay on the G8 (meeting of world leaders)
Anyway, just wanted to share the following conference information (March 22, 2011 in Orlando Florida) with you all:
4G Summit would have been a funnier name for the "Path to 4G Conference"
FierceWireless Presents: The Path to 4G @ CTIA Wireless 2011
Speakers: Michael Sievert of Clearwire, Neville Ray of T-Mobile USA, David Small of Verizon Wireless, Mark Collins of AT&T Mobility and more
Quote:
The 4G battle is on and operators are racing to secure the largest 4G footprint in the fastest possible time frame. Currently, Clearwire (and its wholesale partners) claim the lead with 100 mobile WiMAX markets deployed. But Verizon is a fast follower with its 38 LTE markets as of year-end 2010.
But the 4G race is just getting started and first-to-market doesn’t necessarily equate to 4G leadership. Thus, 4G is becoming a fractured term taken over by the marketing departments and leaving consumers to determine what 4G means and why they should purchase it.
The Path to 4G is a must-attend event for all wireless industry executives, including: - Service providers
- Device makers, chip manufacturers, test equipment vendors
- Industry Associations
- Content providers
- Cable companies
