June 15 2010 - The wireless industry will be gathering in Bristol, UK next month, for the Wireless2.0 conference at a time of unparalleled opportunity in the industry.
“The smart phone revolution has brought the dream of mobile multimedia home,’” said Simon Bond, organiser of this year’s Wireless 2.0 conference. “However, its extraordinary success has also placed unprecedented stresses on the networks that support them. There’s so much that needs to be fixed if the wireless industry is going to keep pace with consumer demand for its current and future product. I believe that this tension is driving us into a new, golden age of wireless innovation, and Wireless 2.0 is where it starts.”
