TITLE
END OF COMMUNCATION AS A SERVICE
SPEAKER
Charles Backoff,
MIMOS INTERNATIONAL ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER
ABSTRACT
Modern communications and computing technologies developed independently in the last century. Recent advances brought these technologies into alignment, and have blurred their differences. For example, powerful computer algorithms are at the heart of WiMax, LTE, and other wireless protocols, while Skype enables the Internet to function as a telephone system. Hand held devices like Smartphones and Netbooks evolve toward the common space of portable communications and computing. Blurring will continue until communications disappears as a stand alone service, and becomes an internal element of computing. This trend will drive system selection, applications development and performance parameters for future devices and systems. This presentation covers some of the indicators of progress in the trend, and suggests areas for research and investment.
