Making the Most of Mobile

Workshop in Cambridge on 24 September 2012

The Making More of Mobile, Workshop is on Monday Sep 24 in Cambridge, 9am-6pm in the Computer Laboratory.

We're in lecture theater LT2, and have a breakout room, FW26, plus poster boards and tables for demos, in "The Street" (the foyer/atrium area in the building).

The high level purpose is to end up sharing information to help roadmap more pervasive, faster and consistent performance for the mobile wireless user by looking at a variety of bonding and merging of services through a range of techniques at all layers of the protocol stack. the outcome might be to see if there are user, technical or business barriers, and if so, how they can be overcome. Stakeholders from industry (equipment and service providers, as well as the measurement community), academia, regulators and users will be invited. The workshop mixes technology companies, researchers and stakeholders together.

Here is a video from one of the organisers, outling some of the challenge and some of the tech that is giving us opportunities to create some nice solutions, but some of the possible hurdles to leap along the way, including problems (and solutions) with technology, users, including applications and security/trust, and business models ranging from "free" (paid by advertising, council, brokered) to direct multi-sim operation.

The Agenda is available.

Some speakers' slides are available now
