Among all the technology exhibited at the show, CTIA also has multiple policy panels planned (click here for the official wrap-up). These discussions should prove interesting and the issues on the agenda are ones that could potentially affect the wireless ecosystem as we know it. I’m going to give a brief overview of those panels and their respective topics of discussion. Again, stop by if you can – it’s always interesting to hear a policymaker’s take on our industry.
US Wireless and the World
This should prove a provocative discussion. There have been calls for the US to revamp the domestic wireless model, and (wrongful) claims that other countries lead the US in innovation and wireless service provision. This panel will try to tease that out and get to the heart of this issue.
Taxation of Wireless in the Mobile Broadband Era
Plain and simple – wireless taxes average about twice the tax rate for other good and services. Wanna find out why? Me too.
Market Realities
How do consumers interact with the wireless market place? How might different levels of oversight (Federal, State, etc.) affect that interaction?
Wireless Innovation at the Network Edge and Core
Where, and how does innovation take place in wireless networks? What implications might innovation within and on the periphery of the network carry for the larger wireless industry?
Network Management
A candid talk about network management in today’s mobile ecosystem.
