U.S. governors began rolling out their political agendas this week in inaugural addresses delivered across the nation. And while many tied economic progress in their states to technology, none targeted the need for municipal broadband in general—and municipal wireless in particular—more than Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas.
Douglas, a Republican entering his third term, titled his address The Vermont Way Forward. In it, he declared his intent to "provide universal cellular and broadband coverage everywhere and anywhere” by 2010.

When visiting a foreign country, it’s always good to know a bit about the local culture and customs. We seem to think of this most often when it comes to things like greetings, dining habits/etiquette, and languages. However, we should also remember that, in a time where nearly everyone has a mobile device in their pocket, there are a number of cultural differences when it comes to wireless technology as well.
Here's my turn to throw my hat into the ring for some 2007 predictions for our wireless/mobile sector!
One thing I don’t have to tell you is that this is an industry on fire. Growth will remain very strong this year. As industry insiders, we will be challenged to stay on top of the growth, the trends and the expectations.
1. The Confusion Equation will not Abate.
Our industry is notorious for its lack of standards. This complex wireless matrix of multiple devices, operating systems and carrier nuances stands between our ability to get quality applications out to customers, for them to use the services, and for greater revenue growth. Granted there are a number of folks developing band-aids and workable solutions, I don’t see a miracle ‘fix’ by the end of the year. I do see an increased earnest effort to collaborate on solutions by our industry leaders; and more workaround solutions to bypass the big guys all together. Keep in mind though the workarounds tend to be useful for the geeks and early adopters, not a mass market. It does though usually force the big guys to make positive changes. Enter also tools from the open source community and others opening their APIs. This is great – but is doesn’t make it easier for developers to make choices just yet.
