Editor’s Blog – Go Mobile
It seems like no matter where you look everything is going mobile — opportunities abound. However, careful consideration of the choices at hand will be required to shorten the time to business growth. It’s no longer about just transporting voice. Data is where the real growth lies. And, in a world where customer churn rates range upwards of 30-50%, delivering superior customer experience has never been more important.

Editor’s Blog – The Evolution of Mobile Broadband
How many of us recall being tethered to a wall to communicate? In the early wireless days we were so excited to be mobile we put up with a lot of quality issues — just to cut the cord. And even though it wasn’t that long ago, our expectations for a high-quality mobile broadband experience have outpaced technology such that a few-second delay or spotty coverage can cause us stress. As more advanced mobile applications come online, operators need to rise above the data storm to become trusted partners in enabling an exceptional customer experience.

Editor’s Blog – Building an Eco-sustainable Future
In this second installment of Building an Eco-sustainable Future, we turn our attention to Driving Green Innovation and Opportunity. The environment and the economy are top priorities today, as evidenced by the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen last month. However, it will take more than good intentions. It will take considerable action to mitigate the impact of global carbon emissions.
