After ITEXPO in Miami next week, I come back home, witness TMC's move into a new headquarters, head back down to Miami for a bar Mitzvah and then finally head to the Olympics in Vancouver, Canada. While there I will get a chance to witness the Nortel/Avaya IP network which powers the games and I will also have a chance to see the many innovations associated with the event. Many are outlined in an excellent article by TMC's Brendan Read.

I am excited to be at the games - it is an opportunity not everyone gets and I look forward to watching as many of the events as possible and reporting on the happenings.

How T-Mobile Can Take its Rightful Place

January 11, 2010

T-Mobile gets little to no respect in the US wireless market but when it comes to smartphones, the company has some hits on its hands. And when you have positive momentum, it is corporate malpractice to not do your best to keep it going. To that end, Carl Ford has some great ideas on how the wireless provider can parlay device success into financial success.

See Carl Ford next week at 4GWE where he is the community organizer. Carl would like you all to visit T-Mobile and listen to then speak at the collocated M2M Evolution conference which also takes place next week in Miami.

TMC Moves to New Headquarters Next Month

January 8, 2010

I just got back from taking a tour of final construction at the new TMC headquarters we will be moving to in February. It has been an exhilarating experience to have been in the communications and tech markets these past decades. I can't imagine any industry seeing as much change as we have - at the nexus of communications, tech and media transformation.

Our company is 38 years-old this year and the change in our products and services and competitive set over the last four decades has been beyond incredible.
