Mobile Trends 2020 Updated
by Russell Buckley on 15. Jan, 2010 in Predictions
Carlo wrote last week about Mobile Trends 2020, a project curated by our pal Rudy De Waele.

Mobile Phones in 10 Year’s Time
by Russell Buckley on 18. Jun, 2009 in Predictions
I’ve been writing over at Opinions in Mobile for a while now. The idea is that they send out a question very week to a panel of industry thought leaders (and me) and everyone responds with a short and pithy post. There really are some heavyweight thinks from around the world involved – I won’t [...]

And we roll on from Part 1 with the second installment of my 2009 predictions… 6. WiMAX networks become a success, at least in the US.

Following my, uh, stellar performance in 2008, here are my predictions for 2009. This was pretty tough, actually, as it was hard to see much past the doom and gloom of the economy to much brightness and light. There’s some, though.
