On the way to CTIA Wireless 2008 in Las Vegas

I'm heading to the CTIA's Wireless 2008 conference and exhibition in Las Vegas (see above).  Despite misgivings about the economy, it should be a fascinating show that will highlight the continuing vibrancy and diversity of the wireless ecosystem.

Some of the major subjects of the conference will be the effects of so-called "open" cellular networks, making money with multimedia (music, videos and mobile TV), moving ahead with mobile advertising, the ramifications of the Apple iPhone, the development of 4G networks (cellular and WiMAX) and wireless security.

I'm booked for numerous briefings, receptions and dinners, and I also must find time to attend some of the panels and walk the huge exhibit hall.  I've got much to accomplish and not enough time!
