Jonathan Spalter, Chairman, Mobile Future. Wireless communications, not long ago a niche market with limited capability and clunky gear, has evolved into a dramatically innovative industry. Now that it has merged with the Internet, it is present in every sphere of life and transformational in many. Parenting, politics, healthcare, finance, education, government, philanthropy, and certainly entertainment - there are proliferating apps for that. This panel will showcase the ideas that could enable mobile platforms to better serve communities, concepts that may grow into industries and probably will make what we are doing now obsolete. It will also consider the challenges of accommodating untethered growth in regard to spectrum, infrastructure, regulation, and cost.
